▴ Falljökull

View from the final point of our glacier hike on Falljökull. Located in the Skaftafell Nature Reserve, this glacier lies just off Iceland’s Ring Road and is part of a region known for its stunning landscapes and multiple glacier tongues. Several tour operators offer hikes here, with routes to suit a range of fitness levels and timeframes.

▴ Falljökull Glacier

Falljökull is one of several outlet glaciers flowing from Iceland’s vast Vatnajökull ice cap. Known for its otherworldly landscape of deep blue ice and jagged crevasses, it is a popular destination for ice hiking adventures. Situated within Skaftafell National Park, it is conveniently located along the Ring Road, making it easily accessible for visitors.

Una breve vista al glaciar Falljökull, una de las lenguas suroccidentales del Öræfajökull. El glaciar me llama la atención por la enorme cantidad de detritos que acumula en su zona frontal.

Simbalito on #GrandTour in #Iceland. Today we start in #Skaftafell #NationalPark. We started our #hike/#hedgewatch very early because the #Svartifoss #waterfall is a famous tourist attraction. Look the water flows abz #columnarjoints made of #basalt.

As a photographer I love travelling and seeing new things, here you can see what I saw when I first visited #Svartifoss in the #Skaftafell national park which is located in the #Vatnajökull area.
It takes about 30-60 minutes to walk there depending on your stamina and speed, I took a well-manageable 60 myself and was able to breathe (easily) the whole time.

The descent was a bit tricky, because the path was hidden under ice and snow. We ended up in an area that was so steep, that loose snow tumbled down and fell off a cliff, so we decided to backtrack the upper part of the trail before rejoining the loop further down... better safe than sorry 😮‍💨

We did, however, catch a splendid sunset just before arriving back at the car!
