Vatnajökull National Park is enormous (14% of Iceland's land area) and diverse (with a plethora of natural highlights). The Park is dominated by Vatnajokull Glacier (with over 25 outlet glaciers), Iceland’s deepest lake (Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, see Gallery), the smaller Fjallsarlon Glacier Lagoon (see Gallery), multiple glacial rivers (Jokulsa a Fjollum, Skjalfandafljot), stunning canyons including Jokulsargljufur (Iceland's deepest) with its impressive waterfalls Dettifoss (see Gallery), Hafragilsfoss, and Selfoss, and black sand Diamond Beach (see Gallery).
Skeidarajokull Glacier is one of Vatnajokull's outlet tongues. Its viewpoint is next to the Skeidara Bridge Monument (a remnant of the longest bridge on the Ring Road) which was destroyed in 1996 by a volcanic eruption under Vatnajokull. The Svinafellsjokull Glacier is another outlet tongue with excellent views making it popular for hiking, movies and visits.
