Jökulsárlón

The Glacier lagoon in Iceland is close to highway number one, about 350 km east from Reykjavík, and it is told to be one of the greatest wonders of nature in Iceland. The surface is at sea level and sea water flows into the lagoon at high tide.

Huge blocks of ice constantly break off the glacier, Breidamerkurjokull glacier, and large icebergs from the glacier float on the lagoon. The lagoon never looks the same and is really alive. The lagoon is not very wide but it up to 160 metres deep. The glacier Breiðamerkurjökull glacier is an outlet of the Vatnajökull glacier.

You can make boat trips to get a real close look at the blocks.
