The glacier Vatnajökull reigns supreme, showing no regard for politics in Iceland or the rest of the world. In its Realm the ice is omnipotent, with powerful arms that have cut out valleys and peaks, and rushing rivers that have challenged surrounding settlements for centuries -- not to mention the subglacial volcanoes, long a source of destruction and change throughout the area. The endless struggle with the forces of nature has continually shaped regional culture and history. Extending around the icecap, Skaftafell National Park encloses the unique phenomenon of Vatnajökull, in addition to many of Iceland's leading natural wonders, such as the park's traditional core at Skaftafell, Ingolfshofdi headland, Jokulsarlon lagoon and Oraefajokull, Iceland's highest mountain (2,110m). The regional town of Hofn, home to the interesting Glacier Exhibition and other services, enjoys one of the island's most fabulous panoramas.
