ICELAND / WorkingAbroad Projects
Become a conservation volunteer in Skaftafell National Park, Iceland and join our teams to preserve the Vatnajökull National Park in Skaftafell – a green oasis surrounded by one of the world’s biggest glaciers, located in the southeast of Iceland, and certainly one of the most beautiful areas in the country.
The Skaftafell National Park area is managed by Vatnajökull National Park and international volunteers have played a very important part in the management of the areas hiking trails since 1996. Skaftafell National Park is a very popular hiking area due to its outstanding landscape of glaciers, mountains, varied vegetation and glacier lagoons. This is a very special area embraced by two long glacier tongues in the southeast of the country and is ideally suited for those interested to hike and work in a remote and wild area.
The work of conservation volunteers in Skaftafell National Park will include:
-boardwalk building
-resurfacing the trails
-improving drainage
-bridge building
-stone step construction
-invasive species removal
Conservation volunteers can join for 2 weeks up to 4 weeks from June to August each year.
