Discover Iceland
Drangajökull is the northernmost glacier of Iceland. It is situated southwest of the peninsula Hornstrandir in the Westfjords region. The glacier covers an area of 160–200 km2 (62–77 sq mi), at an altitude of up to 925 m (3,035 ft). It is the only Icelandic glacier which lies entirely below an altitude of 1000 metres and also the only one that has not shrunk in recent years.
The place can form part of a wider trip through the Westfjords, combining naturally with other landscape, heritage and travel experiences depending on interests and season.
Glaciers are constantly changing and can be dangerous. Do not travel onto the ice without appropriate equipment and experience.
Drangajökull is an ice cap in the Westfjords shaped by snow accumulation, ice flow and glacial erosion.
