Southern Iceland
Home » Iceland » Iceland - Major Cities and Regions » Southern IcelandThe southwestern part of Iceland includes everything south and east up until Myrdalsjökull, while Southeastern Iceland continues further east with Kirkjubæjarklaustur as the western entry point and Höfn the eastern. Southwestern Iceland is the most convenient area of travel for visitors coming from Reykjavik and is home to many of the famous natural sights in Iceland – waterfalls, glaciers, geysers, and even unadorned yet magnificent farmland. Southeastern Iceland is primarily made up of the Vatnajökull (a glacier) which has lakes, volcanoes, and more.
Southern Iceland has only a few fishing ports on its coast but does feature the Skaftafell National Park and the Jökulsá Lagoon, as well as an airport and many quaint villages that are lovely to visit. A very popular tourist attraction is also the erupting volcanoes. While this may sound quite threatening, it is really a generally safe process to watch and can be an experience never forgotten.
