 Jokulheimar
are situated in an area called Tungnarbotnar near the edge of the glacier
snout Tungnarjokull. The access road lies along the
Fishing Lakes (Veidivotn) to the hills called Vatnaoldur and east of the
mountain ridge Ljosufjoll until the two huts of The Glaciological Society
are reached, the smaller one built in 1955 and the larger one in
1966. Those huts have served as a centre for
scientific excursions on Europe's largest ice cap, Vatnajokull. Travellers
are welcome to seek overnight shelter there upon prior bookings at The
Glaciological Society in Reykjavik. For a few years the huts also were
the centre for weather observations. The
surroundings of Jokulheimar are very barren |
