Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon

After about 5 hours on the bus admiring the beautiful landscapes that Iceland gives us, we will arrive at the glacial lagoon of Fjallsárlón. It is located on the glacier tongue Fjalljökull, near the Skaftafell National Park. Here we will observe the different colors of the icebergs: gray, due to volcanic ash, white and blue. Take the opportunity to take pictures and save them for your memories.

Diamond Beach

Next to Jökulsárlón, we will find Diamond Beach. It is a volcanic beach of black sand full of ice blocks detached from the Vatnajökull glacier. That is why they look like diamonds that sparkle in the sun and make this beach so well known.

 Stjórnarfoss Waterfall

We will arrive at the Stjórnarfoss waterfall, hidden in the historic town of Kirkjubaejarklaustur and observe the symmetrical waterfall divided into two stages of 15 meters each. Stop in front of this beautiful area and enjoy the sound of the water 🙂
