More to know about Jokulsarlon
Jokulsarlon is a glacial lagoon located in southeastern Iceland. The lagoon features icebergs calved from Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, which float on the water's surface. A black sand beach separates the lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors explore the lagoon by boat tour, walk along the shore, and photograph the dramatic interplay of ice, water, and dark sand.
Jokulsarlon is a glacial lagoon located in southeastern Iceland within Vatnajokull National Park, formed by the retreat of the Breidamerkurjokull glacier outlet tongue. It lies adjacent to Route 1 (the Ring Road), approximately 378 kilometers from Reykjavik, and drains into the North Atlantic Ocean through a short tidal channel beside Diamond Beach.
