What Jökulsárlón is known for
The glacier lagoon filled with icebergs, plus Diamond Beach where ice chunks wash ashore. One of Iceland's most photographed places.
Top things to do
- Walk along the lagoon shore and watch icebergs drift
- Visit Diamond Beach across the road at sunrise or sunset
- Take a zodiac or amphibian boat tour on the lagoon
- Photograph the northern lights over the ice in winter
- Drive east to Vestrahorn mountain or west to Skaftafell
How to get there
Drive the Ring Road about 5 hours from Reykjavik or 45 minutes from Höfn. The lagoon is right beside Route 1.
How long to stay
One night nearby to catch sunrise, sunset and possible northern lights over the ice. Many visitors stay in Höfn and day-trip.
When to visit
Year-round. Boat tours run in summer; winter brings ice, aurora and far fewer people.
Where to stay
Farm guesthouses and small hotels within 15–30 minutes of the lagoon. Höfn is the nearest town, 45 minutes east.
