Jökulsárlón, the point where icebergs split from the Vatnajökull glacier and start their long journey towards the sea, is a spectacular lagoon where the bluest of icebergs are scattered across the mirror-like water. It is the largest glacier lagoon in Iceland, created by the melting of Europe’s biggest glacier. The lagoon is located 380km away from Reykjavík, Jökulsárlón is also Iceland's deepest lake, with depths reaching 248m. Explore the lagoon alongside your private guide, discovering the history and science behind this incredible sight.
