Despite its hostile and uninhabitable nature, Vatnajökull has a magnetic appeal that’s created a brisk trade in day-trip incursions onto the glacier. Over thirty glacier tongues overspill from the ice cap, each tumbling down to ground level with a unique path and style, and whilst many of them terminate in iceberg-filled lakes such as Jökulsárlón, some slowly retreat across dry land, scraping vast furrows in their wake and offering a chance to set foot on the ice. We went on a Vatnajökull trip, it was wonderful!
