Dominated by the glacier-topped Snæfellsjökull stratovolcano, Snæfellsjökull National Park spans 70 square miles of Iceland’s rugged landscape. The park’s terrain includes basalt sea cliffs, black and gold sand beaches, and peculiar lava formations, embodying the country’s fiery and icy nature. Visitors can explore the otherworldly lava fields and the remains of ancient fishing villages, while the park’s main highlight, the Snæfellsjökull volcano, stands as a towering inspiration that once captivated Jules Verne during his writing of Journey to the Center of the Earth.
