Your tour begins bright and early at the main parking lot of Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, a convenient and well-known meeting point along the South Coast.

Deep shades of blue, glassy textures, and translucent formations shape a dreamlike setting for your camera. Light filtering through the ice walls adds dramatic contrast and visual depth to every frame.
Your guide, an expert in the area, will help position you in the best spots for standout shots.
