Svínafellsjökull Glacier Tongue, Iceland

Svínafellsjökull Glacier lagoon

There are many glacier tongues originating from Vatnajökull glacier. Svínafellsjökull glacier tongue is one of the most accessible one. After walking back from Svartifoss, we took the path towards Svínafellsjökull glacier. The walk was pretty flat and easy. We passed little waterfalls along the way and beautiful green Iceland moss. At the end of our walk, we got pretty close to the glaciers and could see the ice breaking apart from the glacier in the lagoon. The sight was pretty eerie though with the black sand and what feels like an infinite amount of ice. Since it was a rainy day, the crowds were pretty thin. We felt like we had the place all to ourselves.
