Recently, Magnús and I took a trip to Skaftafell National Park in south-east Iceland. Skaftafell is a popular tourist destination, right by Europe's largest glacier Vatnajökull, which covers a whopping 8% of Iceland's total land area. (It's huge.)
Vatnajökull is also the glacier responsible for Jökulsárlón (literally: glacier lagoon), which is famous for its massive floating icebergs on a saltwater lake. The saltwater lake flows out into the ocean, while the iceberg chunks are pieces that have fallen off the massive glacier behind it.
While there are several glacier lagoons in Iceland, Jökulsárlón is by far the most picturesque and most photographed of them all; this is my take on the icebergs at Jökulsárlón.
