Glaciers of Höfn - Where Ice Shapes Life. A new year-round indoor attraction in Southeast Iceland
A Three-Part Glacier Journey
Explore the Science of Glaciers
The experience begins with an engaging and visually rich exhibition that explains how glaciers form, move and transform the land around them. Visitors learn about glacial rivers, ice caves, meltwater, climate change and the profound influence of Vatnajökull and its outlet glaciers on the region.
Experience Glaciers in Virtual Reality
Through state-of-the-art VR technology, guests can soar above glaciers and mountains, visit Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and venture inside spectacular ice caves. The virtual experience offers perspectives that are otherwise difficult to access, bringing Iceland's icy wilderness closer than ever before.
Witness the Story After Ice
The journey concludes with the acclaimed film After Ice by Kieran Baxter and Þorvarður Árnason. Through striking visual storytelling, the film reveals how the glaciers of Southeast Iceland have changed over recent decades, offering a powerful reflection on environmental transformation and the future of Iceland's ice landscapes.
A Perfect All-Weather Attraction
Open year-round and entirely indoors, Glaciers of Höfn is an excellent complement to glacier hikes, sightseeing tours and other outdoor adventures. It is particularly valuable during winter travel and on days when weather conditions limit outdoor activities.
