Jökulsárlón

The Jökulsárlón (Glacier Lagoon) is the largest glacier lake in Iceland with 20 km2. The lake grows at an impressive speed of 200 m per year due to the receding Breiðamerkurjökull glacier tongue. The icebergs of the lagune are subject to the tides and move in a slow ballet, which lead to constantly changing icescapes. Definitively a paradise for photographers.
