WOMEN’S DAY 2024 - Fjallsarlon Iceberg Lagoon

Fjallsárlón is a glacial lagoon in Iceland, located on the southern end of Vatnajökull glacier. The outlet glacier Fjallsjökull, originating from Vatnajökull, extends all the way to the lagoon’s surface, where large icebergs break away from the ice cap and fall into the water below. With the many hundreds of icebergs that float atop the lagoon’s surface, it is considered to be a strong second to the nearby, and more famous, Jökulsarlon glacial lagoon. Though smaller than its neighbour, it is less known, thus less crowded with other visitors. Fjallsárlón is characterised by its unique and glittering icebergs. No iceberg is alike, with many hundreds of different shapes and sizes floating lazily atop the water. As these icebergs drift from place to place, they will often collide, exulting a loud groan as the ice rubs against itself.
