For the past couple of weeks constructions and maintenance work have been underway on the main path to Svartifoss. This photo was taken during the weekend when rangers and local farmers in Öræfi were working on the path. Further constructions will take place this week. 

For the past 24 hours rainfall has measured more than 100mm (3.9in) in Skaftafell. Rangers have checked conditions of the paths and some have streams running down them while others are completely flooded. Hikers are asked to be careful on the paths. The campsite has been closed temporarily due to water level.Rangers are however enjoying the rain and the pictures speak for themselves  https://www.facebook.com/Vatnajokulsthjodgardur 

This coming winter, Vatnajökull National Park‘s visitor centre in Ásbyrgi will be open every day, except for a few days during the Christmas and New Year period. Throughout October, the visitor centre will be open from 10 AM to 16 PM, but from November to the end of April, opening hours are between 11 AM and 15 PM.

Park managers in Vatnajökull National Park instruct visitors to seek permission from park rangers prior to using a drone within the park.

Due to increased hours of daylight and higher air temperature, ice caves in the outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull have become less stable and more dangerous to visit. It is important that people take the utmost care all the time when near an ice cave and that they evaluate its condition prior to entering.

Gljúfrastofa, Vatnajökull National Park's visitor centre in Ásbyrgi, will open on 4 April 2016 and stay open throughout April from 10 to 14 every day of the week.
