On our Glacier Lagoon Day Tour, we’ll drive along the South Coast of Iceland, heading towards Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Vatnajökull is the largest ice cap in Iceland, covering more than 8 percent of the country. In total, Vatnajökull covers approximately 8,100 square kilometres (3,100 square miles), which is about the size of Delaware!
As we arrive at Vatnajökull National Park, you’ll start to feel the true force of nature. This becomes apparent when we reach the large glacial lake, Jökulsárlón, located in the southeastern corner of Vatnajökull National Park.
The lagoon developed after the Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier began receding around the 1930s. Since then, the lagoon has continued to grow at varying rates due to the melting and retreat of the glacier.
We’ll also explore other wonders of Vatnajökull National Park, including Diamond Beach, Fjallsárjökull, and Skaftafell.
Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the true force of nature!
