Along the Ring Road about 60km east of Skaftafell is the iceberg lagoon of Jokulsarlon. It's directly connected to the road so you can't miss it. Essentially, it's a glacier-fed lake that has icebergs of all sizes floating around and grounded in the water and eventually drift out to sea at the mouth of the lagoon. It was a freezing... More

Hi there, are you visiting Iceland? Basically you should be visiting Jokulsarlon "Glacier" Lagoon. No, I don't care to hear your excuses. We were lucky enough to arrive literally the first day that the boat trips were taking place after Winter. I'm not sure I agree with the person on here that said not to bother with the boat trip,...

The most spectacular spot I saw in Iceland, beats anything in the 'golden circle' hands down. Don't be put off by the long drive from Reykjavik, it is one the classic scenic drives in the world. Something to look at all the way, including waterfalls, black sand beaches and glaciers (extend your trip if needs be!). Once you've parked up,... More

So much beauty in this place it's almost not to believe! I drove all the way from Reykjavik with a small rented car and don't regret a second! It was definitively worth the travel! I took a room close to the lagoon which allowed me visiting it at several times of the day/night. What a wonder! I recommend seeing both... More

This is a must visit site, in fact a sight attraction to visit before you die. As usual, I won't go into details about how beautiful the glaciers are. I would like to give you a few tips so that you can prepare your journey to this wonderful place. Tip 1: Weather condition in Iceland is indeed very unpredictable. It... More

This was absolutely beautiful! It was one of the most spectacular sights I have seen. It is definitely worthwhile to take the boat trip. We were there in April so they were taking people out on a little Zodiac boat. It was incredible and we got to go up close to the glacier itself. I think it helped that we... More

This place is somewhere you have to see to believe. The Icelanders will tell you this is the best place in Iceland and they are not spinning you a line. It is 398km from Reykavik (approx 5 hours) each way but I'd walk there if I had to! The views along the drive are outstanding anyway so its not as... More

We rented a car, left our amazing hotel in Reykjavik, and drove 4 hours to Jökulsárlón, on the helpful tip from a clerk at the Blue Lagoon. "If you had only a couple days in Iceland, and you could go anywhere, what would you do?" Thanks for the tip! It's beautiful (see my picture, which does not do it justice).... More

As you drive along route 1 you pass right by this and you really have to pull over and spend some time here. The lake is full of icebergs some of which have washed up on the shore and a slowly melting. The lake is surrounded by hills and the glacier in front of it which supplies the icebergs. It... More
