Passing the southern edge of the mighty Vatnajökull Glacier roughly midway between Reykjavik and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, offering magnificent views of glaciers, rivers and endless plains of sand. Vatnajökull Glacier National Park stretches over an area of 14.000 square km, or roughly 10 times the size of London. When you think nothing can beat the scenery, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon opens up before your eyes and takes your breath away.
