Jökulsárlón is a stunning glacier lagoon in southeastern Iceland, famous for its massive floating icebergs and proximity to the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.

Glacier Tour

Jökulsárlón Jewels of Ice

Jökulsárlón is Iceland's most famous glacier lagoon, a cinematic setting where massive icebergs break off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float toward the Atlantic Ocean.

Witness the contrast of ancient blue ice against the black volcanic sand at the famous Diamond Beach. A long journey, but an essential one to see nature at its purest.
