Rank : 9.1 (average on 17 votes)

Coordinates : 64.047730, -16.180443 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Jokulsarlon is a glacial lagoon formed by the melting of the glacier Vatnajokull. The lagoon is particularly known for the presence of numerous icebergs; these are constantly moving and the landscape can change significantly from day to day. In addition, on the black sand beach located in front of the lagoon get stranded numerous fragments of ice, creating a spectacular landscape! Some fragments are completely transparent and look like jewels!

Recommended equipment : Wide angle, standard zoom and tripod. To photograph the ice on the sand recommend wearing boots, because often it's pretty close to the water to get the best shots and you are likely to end up with your feet wet, especially when the sea is rough.

Best months : All year, the lagoon and the beach are next to the main road so they are always accessible, even in winter.

How to get there : Jokulsarlon is about an hour from Hofn or two hours from Vik, small towns on the coast where you can spend the night; you come here via the Ring Road and you can leave your car in the free parking in front of the Café Jokulsarlon; here is the lagoon that the beach just meters away.

Visits : Freely open and free. Near the cafe there is also Wi-Fi for free:-)
