About Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

At Jökulsárlón, icebergs break off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float serenely across a deep lagoon dotted with seals. Take a boat tour among the ice, then cross the road to Diamond Beach where stranded ice glitters on black sand.

When to visit

Boat tours run May–October. Winter reveals glassy stillness and aurora reflections.
