Jökulsárlón / Glacier lagoon

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".

Vatna

Iceland is known as the "Land of Ice and Fire", and the largest ice cap in the country is Vatnajökull, covering an area of 8,420 square kilometers, which is about one twelfth of the total area of Iceland. What's even more astonishing is that beneath the ice, there are unique volcanic calderas, hot springs, and lava flows.
