Jökulsárlón is an incredible glacier lagoon located in southeastern Iceland that draws visitors from all over the world. The crystal clear waters of the lagoon are home to a beautiful diversity of wildlife such as seals, birds and more, as well as free-flowing icebergs that create a majestic, yet eerily romantic landscape. Nearby, diamond-like shimmering chunks of ice cover the black sand beach known as Breiðamerkursandur, making for one of the most unique photo backdrop of any natural attraction. Not only can visitors explore this spectacular lagoon by boat tour or kayak rental, they can also take part in a glacier hike or tour of the magnificent nearby ice cave. Jökulsárlón truly is a sight worth seeing and should not be missed by anyone looking to experience the iconic beauty Iceland has to offer.

the site is close to road number 1. The site is easily accessible winter and summer.
