Vatnajökull National Park
Europe's largest national park covers nearly 14% of Iceland and safeguards
mighty Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap outside the poles (three times the size of
Luxembourg) ( Click here ). Scores of outlet glaciers flow down from its frosty bulk,
while underneath it are active volcanoes and mountain peaks. Yes, this is ground
zero for those 'fire and ice' clichés. You'll be spellbound by the diversity of land-
scapes, walking trails and activities inside this super-sized park. Given its dimen-
sions, access points are numerous - start at Skaftafell in the south or Ásbyrgi in
the north.
