Details for Jokulsarlon

Jokulsarlon is the world’s most famous glacial lagoon with its magnificent icebergs. The Icebergs are 1000-year-old chunks of the retreating Oraefajokull glacier that have broken off and are floating out to sea. From Batman Begins to Game of Thrones, this mystical lagoon featured in many films. The lagoon is part of Vatnajokull National Park and a popular spot for northern lights hunters since it offers a great setting for great pictures. Nearby Jokulsarlon is a sand beach named Diamond Beach because the glaciers from Jokulsarlon lie on the sand and sparkle like diamonds.
