Short walk to the front side of the Flaajokull glacier, another southern tongue of the Vatnajokull. The path is longer than the other two paths we made in this area (Fjallsarlon lagoon and Hoffeljokull tongue), 4 km return trip.
It starts on a bridge next to the car park , leading front of the glacier through the melting stream sediments .
The walk is mainly on a solid ground , is also possible to take a shorter path on the soft mud at your own risk. At the glacier front we noticed some areas between ice and rocks , some small ice caves created by melting streams, very interesting to see
