==Outlet glaciers== [[Image:Flaajokull glacier.jpg|thumb|right|upright|[[Fláajökull]] outlet glacier]] Vatnajökull has around 30 outlet glaciers flowing from the ice cap. The Icelandic term for glacier is "jökull", and so is the term for outlet glacier. Given below is a list of outlet glaciers flowing from Vatnajökull, sorted by the four administrative territories of Vatnajökull National Park.<ref>{{cite web|title=General information map|url=http://www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is/media/skjol/Heildarkort_EN-12okt2011.jpg|publisher=Vatnajökull National Park|access-date=25 October 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610214147/http://www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is/media/skjol/Heildarkort_EN-12okt2011.jpg|archive-date=10 June 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|chapter =Geographic Names of Iceland’s Glaciers:Historic and Modern|url =https://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/1746/pdf/PP1746_pg1-42_fig1-10_lowrez.pdf|first1=Oddur|last1 =Sigurðsson|first2 =Richard S.|last2 =Williams|year=2008|title =Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World series (U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1386-D|editor1=Richard S.
