Fjallsárlón Lagoon is a serene glacial lagoon located just west of its more famous neighbor, Jökulsárlón. It sits at the base of the Fjallsjökull glacier, a tongue of the massive Vatnajökull ice cap.
What sets Fjallsárlón apart is its more tranquil and intimate atmosphere, with fewer visitors and closer proximity to the glacier itself. Large icebergs break off from the glacier and float quietly in the lagoon, creating a stunning and peaceful scene against the backdrop of towering ice and rugged mountains.
Explore Fjallsárlón by walking along the shore to admire the icebergs or by taking a boat tour that navigates through the floating ice. The smaller size of the lagoon allows for closer views of the glacier than at Jökulsárlón, making it a fantastic spot for photography and quiet reflection. It's an easy stop along the Ring Road, with a short walk from the parking area to the water’s edge.
