What to expect
Glacier Lagoon, Jökulsárlón, located in the Vatnajökull national park. The lagoon is made up of meltwater from the massive glacier, Vatnajökull, and is everchanging from the force of the glacier retreats. When the ice breaks away from the glacier it wanders through the lagoon and towards the ocean, a truly astonishing sight.
