Located on the southern end of Vatnajokull National Park, Glacier Lagoon started forming some 60 years ago when the Breidamerkurjokul Glacier started receding from the ocean. It’s reported to be Iceland’s deepest lake at 932 ft deep. The lake has continued to grow since the 1970’s.
We ended up getting the last tour boat of the day for our trip to Glacier Lagoon. After getting fitted with the proper safety gear and talk, we pilled into the small boat for a tour around the lagoon. Getting up close to the glacier along with checking out the icebergs in the lake ( at a safe distance) was quit the amazing experience. After about an hour on the boat, we thanked the captain and made our way to the beach that is littered with thousands of broken down icebergs- a photographers paradise.

Really cool to check out all the icebergs of different sizes in the lagoon.

Loved the color of this iceberg.

Could spend hours here photographing.
