Jokulsarlon

Jokulsarlon is a glacial lagoon that abuts the Vatnajokull National Park's western boundary and is considered to be one of Iceland's top tourist destinations. Jokulsarlon, which is dotted with icebergs all year long, is unquestionably Iceland's most stunning sight. The deepest lagoon in Iceland is called Jokulsarlon, and it lies 248 meters below earth. As the lake runs alongside, the black sand beach along the coasts continues to be littered with ice chunks that like tiny shards of black diamond. Although visitors frequently visit the lagoon for boat trips, many also come for leisurely seal watching and picture excursions.

Jökulsárlón is somewhat of a hot point for Iceland's wildlife due to the abundance of herring and capelin that the tides bring into the lagoon. It is an Arctic Tern breeding location in the summer; keep well away from it since these birds are infamous for their violent defense of their eggs, diving-bombing the heads of those they see as a danger. This time of year, skuas build their nests on the lake's banks. The entire year, seals may be consistently seen swimming among the icebergs or hauling out on them. Given that there are orcas frequently spotted in the seas around southeast Iceland, Jökulsárlón offers them a secure place to relax and interact.
