Stroll along the lagoon's shores, capturing the surreal shapes and mirror-like reflections in your photographs. 

For an even closer encounter, consider opting for a cruise aboard an amphibious vessel, allowing you to navigate among the peculiar ice formations. 

Nearby, you'll find the Diamond Beach adorned with ice sculptures that resemble glistening diamonds. It's a natural spectacle that must be witnessed to be fully appreciated.

Throughout your journey, you'll also have the opportunity to explore Skaftafell nature reserve, traverse volcanic sandy beaches, and marvel at glacial rivers. The tour offers a glimpse into the captivating landscapes of Vatnajokull and Oraefajokull glaciers while you pass through small villages, immersing yourself in the local charm.
