About Snæfellsjökull

Snæfellsjökull National Park is centered around the magnificent Snæfellsjökull glacier-capped volcano, which sits at the tip of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The park features dramatic lava fields, black sand beaches, and volcanic craters, and is famous for being the setting of Jules Verne's 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. The area is known for its unique combination of glacial and volcanic landscapes, as well as rich bird life and coastal features.
