The natural surroundings of Höfn are a big part of its draw. The town is surrounded by several glaciers. During the summer, Höfn even has an exhibition in town that goes into detail about the origin of the glaciers as well as how they move and effect the land. Once you have all the information about the glaciers, a trip to see them is definitely a necessity. The Skaftafell National Park is a great place to view the moving ice up close as hiking trails cross the entire park. Some tours in town also guide and help visitors explore along the glaciers in fun ways such as snowmobiling and climbing. Do not leave out the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon when you visit. The glacier began to recede in the early 1930s to form a lagoon which can be toured by boat. The floating and newly formed icebergs make each trip unique. |
