My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

Vatnajökull National Park - Dynamic Nature of Fire and Ice

country. Iceland

year of inscription. 2019

criteria. Natural

Vatnajökull National Park, which spreads across the Northeastern, Eastern, and Southern Regions, is home to ten volcanoes, eight of which are subglacial and two of which are amongst the most active in Iceland. The interaction between volcanic activity (“fire”) and the overlying Vatnajökull ice cap (“ice”) has resulted in the distinct dynamic geologic landscapes. This WHS showcases the dramatic interplay of magma and lithosphere with the cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
