Overview

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where ancient icebergs, some over 1,000 years old, drift silently across Iceland’s deepest lake. Fed by the Vatnajökull glacier, this 18-square-kilometre natural wonder offers a tranquil, otherworldly landscape you won’t forget. As you walk along the lagoon’s edge, you might recognize its cinematic scenery from films like Batman Begins, Tomb Raider, and James Bond. A must-see highlight of Iceland’s south coast, the lagoon is a surreal blend of ice, water, and light.
