Fjallsárlón is a stunning glacial lagoon in Iceland, located near Vatnajökull glacier. It's like a smaller, less crowded version of the famous Jökulsárlón lagoon, with unique icebergs floating on its surface.

Location: Fjallsárlón is situated at the southern end of the Vatnajökull glacier, Iceland's largest glacier, in the Vatnajökull National Park. It is approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) west of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.

Accessibility: Fjallsárlón is accessible by car via Route 1 (the Ring Road). From Reykjavik, it is a drive of about 270 kilometers (168 miles) southeast. There is a parking area near the lagoon from where visitors can access viewpoints.

Boat Tours: Boat tours are available for visitors who want a closer look at the icebergs and the glacier.

Best Time to Visit: Fjallsárlón can be visited year-round, but the best time is during the summer months(June to August). This place is not so crowded and you can visit any time of the day.

Facilities: There are basic facilities such as parking and restrooms near Fjallsárlón.
