Meetings and conferencesLying along the southern edge of
Vatnajokull, the municipality of Hornafjörður provides an ideal
place for meetings and conferences. Whether in the setting of
Öræfi, Suðursveit or Höfn, groups are easy to keep together,
creating bonds and strengthening cooperation.
Backdrops for advertisements and filmsJökulsárlón lagoon,
Vatnajokull icecap and a range of glacial tongues encompass some of
Iceland's most famous scenery, selected by numerous Icelanders and
foreigners for shooting films and advertisements. Another popular
background is the black basalt coast, which contrasts dramatically
with nearby towering mountains.
Staff excursions, annual company celebrations, incentive trips and
surprise outingsA wide selection of recreation and entertainment is
on offer for groups of every sort and size. The region has
accommodation and restaurants to suit varied expectations and
tastes, making everyone feel welcome in the vicinity of
Vatnajokull.
The glacier Vatnajokull reigns supreme, showing no regard for
politics in Iceland or the rest of the world. In its Realm the ice
is omnipotent, with powerful arms that have cut out valleys and
peaks, and rushing rivers that have challenged surrounding
settlements for centuries -- not to mention the subglacial
volcanoes, long a source of destruction and change throughout the
area. The endless struggle with the forces of nature has
continually shaped regional culture and history. Extending around
the icecap, Skaftafell National Park encloses the unique phenomenon
of Vatnajokull, in addition to many of Iceland's leading natural
wonders, such as the park's traditional core at Skaftafell,
Ingólfshöfði headland, Jökulsárlón lagoon and Öræfajokull,
Iceland's highest mountain. The regional town of Höfn, home to the
interesting Glacier Exhibition and other services, enjoys one of
the island's most fabulous panoramas.
