Jökulsárlón is a large glacial lake at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier in Vatnajökull National Park. It is on the Ring Road between Höfn and Skaftafell. Jökulsárlón was one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. When I woke up and saw the fog I knew that it would make for beautiful moody photos.

The magnificent Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon

At the last minute I booked a boat tour on the lagoon, which was way better than I expected
