UNESCO has approved Iceland’s application to include the newly-expanded Vatnajökull National Park as a World Heritage Site.
Vatnajökull National park will become Iceland’s third UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the first that receives the accolade for its unique nature.
It joins Þingvellir National Park, a cultural site, and Surtsey island, a unique geographical/ geological wonder.
