Today you'll marvel at the floating icebergs of Jökulsárlón, walk among the ice diamonds on the black sand beach, and enjoy a scenic hike to Svartifoss waterfall in Skaftafell Nature Reserve before heading back west to Vík.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Witness the breathtaking sight of icebergs, calved from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, drifting serenely in the deep blue lagoon. Keep an eye out for seals!
Diamond Beach
Just across the road from Jökulsárlón, this black sand beach is adorned with glistening icebergs, washed ashore from the lagoon, resembling scattered diamonds.

A slightly smaller and often less crowded glacier lagoon, offering stunning views of floating icebergs and the Vatnajökull glacier in a more intimate setting.
