Torfajökull
Torfajökull
About
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.
The scale is hard to grasp. These ice giants have been here longer than human civilization.
Ice caves are winter-only experiences. In summer, they collapse. Book ahead in peak season.
