The Grapevine's take

Skaftafell to Höfn

Starting just after the Skaftafell National Park, a breathtaking spot in its own right, one is treated to jaw-dropping views of the massive Vatnajökull glacier out their car window. This entire stretch is a testament to how glacial volcanoes shape the ecology. At Höfn, look back northwards to get another eyeful of the icy behemoth.
