Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

Enormous icebergs come from Breiðamerkurjökull all year round so the lagoon is usually filled with ice that floats south.

If boating is not your thing, then we walk alongside the glacier lagoon enjoying the magnificent views and dead silence of Icelandic nature.

The ice itself comes in all shades of white and blue forming beautiful contrasts, guaranteed to make your Instagram account pop!

Reynisfjara, the Black Sand Beach
