Skaftafell occupies the south-western edge of Vatnajökull National Park, roughly 327 kilometres east of Reykjavík along the Ring Road. The area combines a well-developed trail network with year-round glacier access and a distinctive microclimate that supports birch woodland unusual for this part of Iceland. It is one of the most visited natural areas in the country, and one of the most varied.

Höfn í Hornafirði is a small fishing town on Iceland's southeast coast, sitting at the edge of Vatnajökull National Park with Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon 45 minutes to the west and the Eastfjords beginning to the east. With a population of around 2,500, it is one of the larger service stops on the Ring Road between the South Coast and Akureyri, and one of the few towns in Iceland where the glacier is visible directly from the streets.
