Jokulsarlon lies on Iceland’s South Coast at the edge of the Vatnajokull ice cap. Ice breaks from the glacier into a deep lagoon before moving towards the sea, creating a landscape that changes constantly.
Experiencing the region
Boat experiences operate seasonally and conditions permitting, while the nearby black-sand shore is often scattered with pieces of ice carried back by the tide.
Planning your stay
The lagoon is far enough from Reykjavik to deserve proper itinerary planning. Combining it with a South Coast journey avoids the exhausting out-and-back day trip.
