Introduction

Jökulsárlón, also known as Glacier Lagoon, is one of the largest and most famous lakes in Iceland, located at the southern end of the Vatnajökull glacier. With a depth of up to 200 meters, it is the second deepest lake in Iceland. The lake water is a deep blue and clear, filled with variously-shaped large icebergs. One of the highlights of visiting here is taking a tour on an amphibious boat to admire the floating ice blocks. Many famous movies have been filmed here, including "Tomb Raider", "Batman Begins", and two James Bond movies, "Die Another Day" and "A View to a Kill".
