Entering us a little in the history, we find us with the adventurous one Bárður Saga SnæFellsás whose saga is one of the most famous of Iceland. There are archaeological remainders of the period of liquidation of Iceland around 1100 years ago - for example, the farm Forni-Saxhóll, Berutóftir and ÍrskubúðGoing.
Next Gufuskálar there is a great number of dome-as structures of unknown origin, is believed that between 500 and 700 years. They are probably the oldest traces than are known of the industry fishing ground in Scandinavia. Some they believe that these structures served as places of prayer or meditation of Irish monks. Ö
The fishing flourished in the century 13 and the human population grew in the zones that surround the glacier. A church themselves contruyó in the hill of Ingjaldshóll before 1200 AD. The size of the church is a witness of the important population of nearby towns, at least during the season of fishing. The rich fishing grounds were built where there was a good access to the open sea. Dritvík is one of the best-known examples. Was one of the greater stations of fishing in Iceland during a time, with 40-60 ships and 200-600 people that work there. The fishing diminished in the peninsula of SnæFellsnes Gufuskálavöruring in the century 19 due to the changes in the techniques of fishing.
The villages that are found near the National Park includes Hellissandur, Rif and Ólafsvík. All they were shopping centers and of fishing. Nowadays, they continue flourishing the animated fishing ports in each community.but without place to doubts one of the indispensable places of the park is the Glacial one SnæFellsjökull with its 1446m above sea level.
The mountain is a volcano in assets, that has gone building through numerous eruptions during the last 800000 years. The summit of the crater is 200m (650 feet) of depth, and is found full of ice.
The sides of the glacier are formed by streams of lava that plow the slopes by way of tress. The last eruption was very large, covering the north half of the Peninsula of SnæFellsnes and being carried great part of the Fjords of the West. The lava flowed for the southern slopes of the mountain and the field of lava Háahraun was formed during this eruption.
