Interstellar Crossing Vatnajökull

Vatnajökull National Park is the largest glacier in Europe and the third largest in the world, second only to the Antarctic and Greenland glaciers. It is also the filming location of the famous movie "Interstellar". Being there in person is truly surreal, and can only be described as mind-blowing. The main feature of Vatnajökull National Park is the diverse scenery formed by the combined effects of rivers, glaciers, volcanoes, and geothermal activity. In the park, you can also see various birds, Arctic foxes, and even reindeer. It is a great place to enjoy nature. Vatnajökull National Park includes the entire Vatnajökull glacier and its vast surrounding areas. The easiest way to visit is to take the Route 1 along the way to see Svartifoss waterfall, glacier lakes, diamond beaches, and more. If you want to visit the northern or western parts of the glacier, you need to drive a four-wheel drive vehicle, and it is only passable in the summer. In "Game of Thrones", most of the scenes beyond the Wall and north of the Wall were filmed in Vatnajökull National Park, including the iconic location of the Wall. Visitors to Vatnajökull Glacier almost always try glacier hiking, admiring the bizarre glacier structures and the glacier texture mixed with volcanic ash. Under the guidance of professional guides, visitors need to wear professional climbing shoes and equip themselves with ice claws, ice axes and other tools. This is because there are many large cracks and deep holes on the surface of the glacier, and a slight mistake can lead to falling into them. Walking on the vast ice sheet, the eyes are filled with a white world, and time seems to be frozen, making people feel like they have returned to the distant ice age. In addition to the endless glacier, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon (also known as Jökulsárlón Lake) at the southern end of Vatnajökull National Park is also one of the must-visit attractions for tourists. Jökulsárlón Lake is the largest glacier lake in Iceland. Riding on an amphibious boat, visitors can see the huge floating icebergs moving slowly on the blue water surface and get up close to the various shaped icebergs that have been floating for thousands of years. In addition, from November to March of the following year, visitors to Vatnajökull National Park can also enter the Blue Ice Cave for a visit.
