Top 3 attractions in East Iceland
#1
Vatnajokull National Park
Established in 2008 by combining Iceland’s former Jokulsargljufur and Skaftafell National Parks, Vatnajokull National Park is one of Europe’s largest national parks. It presents incredibly diverse and dramatic scenery including glacial plateaus, active volcanoes, towering ice caps, black-sand beaches, and terrain that is bubbling with geothermal activity. The park is dominated by the Vatnajokull glacier, Europe’s third-largest glacier, and contains Iceland’s highest mountain (Oraefajokull) and deepest lake (Jokulsarlon).More
#2
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
Perched on the cusp of Europe’s largest glacier and separated from the Atlantic Ocean by just a narrow isthmus, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon is the largest, deepest, and arguably most magnificent of Iceland’s many glacial lakes. Here, icebergs bob in glittering water framed by jagged peaks, rugged lava fields, and black-sand beaches.More
#3
Diamond Beach (Breiðarmerkursandur)
A strip of black sand littered with chunks of translucent ice, Diamond Beach is a must-see attraction on Iceland’s southern coast. It lies next to the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, filled with ice splitting off from sections of Europe’s largest icecap. The “diamonds” range from fist-sized turquoise spheres to white blocks large as humans.More
