Jokulsarlon and the South Coast in a Super-Jeep

Glacier Lagoon + South Coast Iceland

This is a truly magnificent day devoted to the wonders of Iceland's south shore, including the awesome glacial lagoon, Jokulsarlon, a surreal and breathtaking glacial lagoon - where you sail amongst icebergs of all shapes and sizes and take a walk on the black sand shores. You travel by 4WD on a super jeep excursion following the picturesque southern coastline passing the villages of Selfoss and Vik, the waterfalls Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss, the glaciers Eyfjafjallajokull, Myrdalsjokull and Vatnajokull, the sleeping volcanoes Katla and Eyjafjallajokull and the beautiful Skaftafell National Park.

From Skaftafell we continue through the vast desert of Skeidararsandur, an area which can be prone to sand storms. Many of Iceland's biggest glacial rivers run into the Atlantic Ocean off the south shore and each year they carry millions of tons of black volcanic sand, constantly altering the shape of the coastline and creating vast black deserts. Just before reaching the lagoon, we drive pass Oraefajokull glacier, the home of the island’'s highest peak, Hvannadalshnjukur, at 2119 m.

At Jokulsarlon, a surreal and breathtaking glacial lagoon - we sail amongst icebergs of all shapes and sizes and take a walk on the black sand shores. This is a stunning glacial lagoon that is constantly changing as the massive glacier tongue retreats. Icebergs of all shapes, sizes and in many hues of blue, turquoise and white, break off from the glacier and float around the lagoon. You will have time to walk the shores of the lagoon as you'll probably be very busy with your camera, photographing the surreal shapes and wonderful, mirror-like reflections. For an even closer view take the cruise aboard an amphibious vessel and sail amongst the oddly-shaped ice formations.

Note the itinerary is subject to weather and road conditions. Warm clothes and sturdy shoes are recommended as the terrain can be rough underfoot.
