What to expect
Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón) is described as one of Iceland’s most amazing natural wonders. This tour takes you on a full-day journey
along the South Coast, passing through the village of Vík on the way to the lagoon.
You’ll have time to explore the Jökulsárlón area and enjoy the spectacle of floating icebergs.
The lagoon is fed by Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull ice cap (the largest glacier in Europe),
and it’s noted as the largest and deepest glacier lagoon in Iceland.
On the return trip to Reykjavik, you’ll stop at Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall where you can walk behind the water to the other side
(conditions permitting).
