5Super !!!
Thanks to Björk and Fannar, we could discover the ice glacier. Meeting was super easy. Rode with a super jeep during 15minutes, a 40minutes walk through an incredible landscape after, we discovered the cave. Wished I could stay here forever !!! It was so cool. Our guides were super great and answered all our questions and gave us extra explanation. Thank you again !

About Höfn
Höfn is a small fishing town in south-east Iceland, set between a glacier-fed lagoon and mountains, and known for its langoustine.
Höfn stands on a low peninsula in south-east Iceland, with the broad white dome of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest ice cap by volume, rising beyond the lagoon and a ring of glacier tongues. The town is built around a busy harbour, and its name simply means harbour. Black sand, birds and wide skies surround it, and the Ring Road passes through, more than 450 kilometres from Reykjavík.
