One of the best and most convenient ways to get a taste of the geography of Iceland, Skaftafell has rugged mountains, glaciers, waterfalls all together in walking distance.
When I approached Skaftafell from the east, the sun was finally making some progress after having tried hard ever since I saw it rise that morning on the beach off Jökulsárlón. As I parked at the visitor centre at the entrance of the park, I noticed there was only one other car. While this area apparently is extremely popular in summer, it gets very few visitors in winter. Indeed, I would not see any in a few hours of hiking in the area. I headed straight to Svartifoss, passing another, smaller waterfall on the way. Ice was already forming on the sides. I continued on the path following a small valley; soon, Svartifoss presented itself.
