There are many places you can visit when you are driving on Vatnajökull Glacier. One of them is the Hidden Gem Hveradalir, where you can take a bath in a natural hot spring. In this video we go to this place and it’s not easy at this time of the year. The Ice under the snow is getting thinner, rivers are getting bigger and it’s more difficult to get out if the rivers as the Ice banks are higher. The weather changes rapidly so there are times you don’t see anything and you have to rely on GPS tracks. These tracks we have made in better conditions so they come in really good use in a situation like this. So don’t be stupid tying this alone!
Vatnajökull also known as the Water Glacier in English, is the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland, and one of the largest in area in Europe. It is the second largest glacier in area after Austfonna on Svalbard in Norway but, nevertheless, larger by volume. It is located in the south-east of the island, covering more than 9% of the country
Under the ice cap, as under many of the glaciers of Iceland, there are several volcanoes. Eruptions from these volcanoes have led to the development of large pockets of water beneath the ice, which may burst the weakened ice and cause a jökulhlaup (glacial lake outburst flood). During the last ice age, numerous volcanic eruptions occurred under Vatnajökull, creating many subglacial eruptions.
