Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Reykjavik · Iceland
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is Iceland's largest and deepest glacial lake, a stunning expanse of deep blue water filled with icebergs calved from the retreating Breiðamerkurjökull glacier on the south coast. Electric-blue and white icebergs of extraordinary shapes drift slowly to the sea, stranding on the adjacent Diamond Beach where they sparkle against the black volcanic sand. Guided boat and kayak tours weave between the icebergs for an intimate encounter with this awe-inspiring landscape.
