Description
  • Details

Take off from Skaftafell Terminal on a 30-minute flight and experience Vatnajökull up close. Follow the glacier edges, soaring past fractured icefalls, winding valleys, and the dramatic calving fronts where icebergs break into shimmering lagoons. Fly above Svínafellsjökull – a spectacular outlet glacier featured in Interstellar, Game of Thrones, and Batman Begins – before tracing the icy ridges back toward Skaftafell. 

What to Expect 
  • Fly into a glacier valley toward Skeiðarárjökull.
  • Pass over Svínafellsjökull, one of Iceland’s most iconic filming locations, featured in Interstellar, Game of Thrones, and Batman Begins. Its jagged ice formations and dramatic glacier scenery have made it a favorite backdrop for Hollywood productions.
  • Circle past the calving glacier fronts, where towering blocks of ice break off into shimmering waters.
  • Take in sweeping views of Öræfajökull outlet glaciers before returning.
