The South Coast stretches east from Reykjavik beneath glaciers and volcanoes towards Vatnajokull. Waterfalls fall from former sea cliffs while broad black beaches face the North Atlantic.
Experiencing the region
Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss and the landscapes around Vik are well-known anchors, but glacier experiences and quieter coastal stops can make the route far more personal.
Planning your stay
The region deserves more than a rushed day trip. Several nights allow travellers to continue towards Jokulsarlon while retaining flexibility for Iceland’s fast-changing weather.
