Vatnajökull National Park has published a brand new travel map for the national park.

The map also indicates special preservation areas and roads which are open to public traffic.

Services in Vatnajökull National Park not affected by Múlakvísl
The glacial outburst flood in Múlakvísl has interrupted many travel plans, but services in Vatnajökull National Park have not been affected. There is one minor exception to this: The daily interpretive walk with a ranger has to be cancelled on Wednesdays, and will be so until a new bridge has been built over Múlakvísl.
