Jokursalon is a must for people that travel between Skaftefell and Hofn. This lagoon is 190 meters deep and its dimensions are 5 Km fot 3 km lenght. In this lagoon you can see a lot of iceberg come from Breidamerkurjokull Glacier and the landscape that you can see is really an artic landscape. Infact it was choose for the setting of James Bond's film DIE ANOTHER DAY and LICENCE TO KILL.
Breidamerkurjokull Glacier go on and come back with a strange frequency as you can see by the photo show in the restaurant near the lagoon and they are shootd in 1945, 1982 and 1990. From 1990 the glacier come back very much and lagoon become more big. One of the problem of this fantastic place is that the gravel in the south side of the lagoon (near Ring Road) with wind and water is fallan down and so it's create a short river call Jokulsa.
One of the most beautiful thing to do in Jokulsarlon is to have a journey ona boat between the iceberg of the lagoon. On the bout the comand explain to you how the lagoon born and the storu of iceberg and ice. Very very interesting and very very beautiful and fantastic!!!! Leave a Comment
Directions: On Ring Road, about 130 Km west of Hofn.
