It's one of the most iconic of all Iceland's iconic photo locations. Jokulsarlon lagoon is a 300m deep lake scooped out by one of the many glacial tongues stretching down off of the massive Jokulsarlon icecap. Pieces crack off the main glacier and float at a genteel pace towards the narrow channel that connects it with the sea. At low tide these bergs, some many times the size of a house, get marooned in the channel, only shifting at high tide or when they have been sufficiently mangled down to large truck proportions to flow into the sea.
