Jökulsárlón – literally meaning “glacial river lagoon” – and if the sight of the icebergs floating by wasn’t extraordinary enough, the icebergs in Jökulsárlón are composed of ice that is over 1,000 years old!
Jökulsárlón first started forming in 1934, when the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier started retreating, leaving the lagoon in its path.
