Description

Standing on a small rise above the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon on the south coast of Iceland, you get a panoramic view of the melting icebergs with the hills in the background. Even a few cars driving along the coast road. A century ago the entire area was frozen but an increase in the world’s temperature since then caused the vast frozen landscape to collapse into a mass of shattered ice and liquid to create the lagoon. The lagoon has an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean, so that these icebergs flow out the short river to the ocean and are smashed by the waves to create the beautiful forms at ‘Diamond Beach’. The ethereal lagoon is a part of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland's largest national park, and the second largest national park in Europe. Vatnajökull National Park was added to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2019.
