We woke up early, packed our things at our little guesthouse, and set off towards the southeast, where a landscape from an entirely different planet was waiting for us. The moment the giant white spectre of the Vatnaj\u00f6kull glacier<\/strong> first appeared on the horizon, Lukas and I were left utterly speechless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly where the famous J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n glacier lagoon<\/strong> lies \u2014 the place where vast masses of ancient ice meet the wild Atlantic. Of all the iceland glaciers<\/strong> we hoped to see, this was the one we were looking forward to the most. On one hand, watching the bluish chunks of ice drift lazily across the surface was breathtakingly romantic. On the other, a strange sadness crept over us, because here you can see with your own eyes just how quickly this majestic glacier is retreating<\/strong> and melting away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article you’ll find 13 tips on what to see and do<\/strong> around the J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n glacier lagoon, how to plan your trip, and what to watch out for. I’ll tell you where to base yourself strategically, how things look for vegetarians<\/strong>, and how much these icy adventures will ultimately set you back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
