About

Name for the southwestern margin of Skeiðarárjökull, on the southern margin of Vatnajökull. It's part of the Vatnajökull Group. The name comes from the Súla River.

Glacier tours are worth the money. You get crampons, ice axes, and someone who knows where it's safe to step.

Can I walk on Súlujökull without a guide?
No. Crevasses on Súlujökull are often hidden under fresh snow and can be lethal — every glacier walk needs crampons, ropes and a certified guide. Book through a licensed tour operator, never freelance it.
How do I get to Súlujökull?
Súlujökull is located in South Coast. Check live road conditions on this page before you drive — highland access often needs a 4×4 and some routes only open in summer.
When is the best time to visit Súlujökull?
Súlujökull is most accessible in summer, when access roads are clear of snow. Check live road conditions before you drive.
Is Súlujökull shrinking?
Most Icelandic glaciers have retreated measurably over the past few decades. Exact edges and access points shift year to year — treat any online map, including this one, as approximate.
