31 glaciers in South Coast
Torfajökull
Torfajökull is a rhyolitic stratovolcano, with a large caldera capped by a glacier of the same name and associated with a complex of subglacial volcanoes. Torfajökull last erupted in 1477 and consists of the largest area of silicic extrusive rocks in Iceland. This is now known to be due to a VEI 5 eruption 55,000 years ago.
Tungnakvíslajökull
Ice formation in Iceland's glacier system. Every glacier here has its own character - shaped by the volcanoes beneath and the climate above.
Öldufellsjökull
Outlet glacier flowing from Iceland's ice caps. These frozen rivers of ice are retreating fast - see them while they last. Each one tells a story in its layers.
Blesárjökull
Glacier tongue reaching toward the lowlands. Blue ice, ancient air, and a reminder of ice ages past. Iceland's glaciers are windows into deep time.
Skaftafellsjökull
Glacier tongue reaching toward the lowlands. Blue ice, ancient air, and a reminder of ice ages past. Iceland's glaciers are windows into deep time.
Skeiðarárjökull
Large outlet glacier. Famous for jökulhlaups (glacial floods).
Gígjökull
Glacial feature in the land of fire and ice. Where else can you stand on ancient ice above active volcanoes?
Kvíárjökull glacier tongue
Part of Iceland's glacial landscape. The ice here has been forming for centuries. Climate change is rewriting the map. Worth witnessing.
Svínafellsjökull
Outlet glacier of Vatnajökull in Skaftafell. Stunning blue ice, dramatic crevasses. Used as a filming location for Interstellar and Game of Thrones. Easy to view, glacier hikes available. Seriously photogenic.
Steinsholtsjökull
Glacier tongue reaching toward the lowlands. Blue ice, ancient air, and a reminder of ice ages past. Iceland's glaciers are windows into deep time.
Öræfajökull glacier
Glacial feature in the land of fire and ice. Where else can you stand on ancient ice above active volcanoes?
Falljökull
Dramatic glacier in the Vatnajökull system. Steep and heavily crevassed. For experienced glacier hikers only, but the views reward the challenge.
Síðujökull
Outlet glacier flowing from Iceland's ice caps. These frozen rivers of ice are retreating fast - see them while they last. Each one tells a story in its layers.
Súlujökull
Outlet glacier flowing from Iceland's ice caps. These frozen rivers of ice are retreating fast - see them while they last. Each one tells a story in its layers.
Merkurjökull
Glacier tongue reaching toward the lowlands. Blue ice, ancient air, and a reminder of ice ages past. Iceland's glaciers are windows into deep time.
Morsárjökull

Hrútárjökull
Glacier tongue reaching toward the lowlands. Blue ice, ancient air, and a reminder of ice ages past. Iceland's glaciers are windows into deep time.
Stígárjökull
Glacier tongue reaching toward the lowlands. Blue ice, ancient air, and a reminder of ice ages past. Iceland's glaciers are windows into deep time.
Norðlingalægðarjökull

Mávabyggðajökull
Part of Iceland's glacial landscape. The ice here has been forming for centuries. Climate change is rewriting the map. Worth witnessing.
Heljargnípujökull
Glacier tongue reaching toward the lowlands. Blue ice, ancient air, and a reminder of ice ages past. Iceland's glaciers are windows into deep time.
Eyjafjallajökull
Yes, the one that erupted in 2010 and shut down European airspace. The glacier cap is still there, beautiful and quiet now. Popular for super jeep tours. The views from the glacier edge are incredible.
Mýrdalsjökull
Covers Katla volcano - one of Iceland's most powerful. When Katla erupts, the glacial floods are catastrophic. For now, it offers amazing ice caves and hiking. The ice is dramatically black with volcanic ash layers.
Öræfajökull
Iceland's highest peak is covered by this glacier. Actually a volcano that devastated the region in 1362. Serious mountaineering territory.
Sólheimajökull
One of the most accessible glaciers - just off the Ring Road. Popular for glacier walks and ice climbing. The ice is retreating fast, so the landscape changes yearly. Dramatic up close with blue ice and ash layers.
Tindfjallajökull
Tindfjallajökull is a glacier in the south of Iceland whose name is also given to the underlying stratovolcano. Tindfjöll is a ridge that extends to the south of the glacier and is an alternative name for the volcano. The name of the glacier in Icelandic means "Tindfjöll glacier".
Breiðamerkurjökull
The glacier that feeds Jökulsárlón - the famous iceberg lagoon. Constantly calving huge chunks of ice into the water. Watching a chunk break off and crash is unforgettable.
