Panorama Aussicht auf den Skaftafellsjökull Gletscher im Skaftafell Nationalpark
Inside an ice cave in Vatnajokull, Iceland, the ice is thousands of years old and so packed it is harder than steel and crystal clear. Winter travel around the world.  Beautiful landscape background
beautiful hike in the surroundings of Skaftafell. When i saw this mountain, it turns a big smile on my face!

Room was clean and comfortable, heated nicely for arrival. Shower was hot and instructions for the cabin easy to understand. We arrived late and then waited to see the northern lights, which we did. A great view from the bedroom side window over the mountains. Definitely would come back here

Krakhamar was great, the owner was very friendly and helpful, the day we were supposed to leave the road was washed out, and she was very accommodating and helpful. As for the apartment, we were able to cook a fantastic dinner, and enjoyed a peaceful night sleep, despite the storm outside.

Just beautiful- we used Icelandic Mountain Guides to go out of the glacier. I’d highly recommend. An experience of a lifetime.
