Vatnajökull National Park is the largest national park in all of Europe and covers roughly 13% of Iceland. It was founded in 2008 by uniting two previously established national parks: Skaftafell in southeast Iceland and Jökulsárgljúfur further north. The park protects the entirety of the Vatnajökull ice cap, Dettifoss (the most powerful waterfall in Europe) and a great variety of geological anomalies.
