 seamandrew Says:  Without a doubt, Jökulsarlón is one of Iceland's most beautiful treasures. There are few places in the world when you can drive up to a glacial lagoon with great ease. My exposure to these lagoons is limited to just this one, but I can't imagine there are many more because... 

 annk Says:  Ah....we made it! The views from the summit were outstanding. We could see the surrounding mountanous area, the brownish valleys below and a far off glimpse of the ocean. Unfortunately the clouds were rolling in and I could not get a clear picture of the view.

 annk Says:  Our first stop was a visit to Vatnajokull Glacier including snowmobiling to a mountain summit. This glacier is larger than all glaciers in Europe combined. Upon arrival we put on snowsuits over our clothes, helmets and rubber boots for the snowmobiling tour.

 Redang Says:  This nice place, although they also serve food, was my election for a drink after dinner. With a nice atmosphere, there is a room with comfortables sofas that make you feel like at home.- Fax: (+354) 478 26 01 

 annk Says:  We cruised the lagoon on the boat with wheels. Tour lasts approximately 1/2 hour and is totally awesome! The building is a gift shop/cafeteria and ticket office for the glacial cruises.Daily trips available, June-Sept. 

 Cristian_Uluru Says:  This vast desertic area is situate in the South-East cost of Iceland and it is call Sandur . This area is make by mud, sand and gravel that thanks the glacier they come there thanks to jokulhalp (glacier explosion) and to glacier river.
