点评:Vatnajökull is the largest ice cap in Iceland and the second largest in Europe. The glacier covers is roughly 7,700 sq. km and covers nearly 10% of the entire landmass of Iceland and provides numerous natural attractions and endless scenery for visitors to the south and southeast of the country.
We recently spent a few days in the Vatnajökull National Park area enjoying the glacier lakes with floating icebergs, black sand and diamond beaches, impressive waterfalls, lava fields and also participated in a snow mobile experience up the Skalafellsjökull tongue of the Vatnajökull glacier with Glacier Journey, a tour operator out of Hofn where we drove around probably 15-20km through snow on the glacier. The scale of Vatnajökull is unbelievable, being able to spend tome on the glacier safely was priceless. Would love to do so again in the future.

我们最近在瓦特纳冰川国家公园地区度过了几天,欣赏了漂浮着冰山的冰川湖、黑沙滩和钻石沙滩、壮观的瀑布和熔岩原,还参加了冰川之旅(Glacier Journey)的雪地摩托体验,沿着瓦特纳冰川的斯卡拉菲尔斯冰川(Skalafellsjökull)冰舌向上攀登。冰川之旅是一家来自赫本的旅行社,我们在冰川上行驶了大约15-20公里的雪地。瓦特纳冰川的规模令人难以置信,能够在冰川上安全地度过一段时光真是无价之宝。希望以后还能再次体验。
