Langisjór, Iceland

A piece of wild, rough and unspoiled nature in the centre of Iceland near the Vatnajökull-glacier.

 

Description Wikipedia:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langisjór

 

"Langisjór is a lake in the Highlands of Iceland. It is around 20 km in length and up to 2 km wide, with a total surface area of about 26 km² and a depth of 75m at its deepest point.

 

The lake is situated rather far from civilisation at the south-western border of Vatnajökull at an altitude of 670 m above sea level. On the other hand, the environment is extremely beautiful (see photos). Environmental campaigners have expressed concern at government plans to site an industrial dam on the lake."
