The Glacier Lagoon at Jokulsarlon is a very special place - it is where the mighty Vatnajökull glacier dips into the Atlantic. The landscape of smaller or bigger icebergs that broke into the water from the glacier and slowly drift towards the ocean is amazing. You can actually pick up. little boulders of ice that have been washed onto the shore. This must rank with the ten or twelve most awesome natural sites that I have seen..... and it's worth the long drive from Reykjavik to see.

Walked through the Falljökull glacier (Vatnajokull) guided by Melrakki Adventures, what a nice experience! You must take a guide to go there, otherwise it's too dangerous. We got the chance to see a nice blue ice cave too. With Oddur the experience was great! Very recommendable!

I was so looking forward to this, and it certainly did not disappoint. Beautiful beach with gorgeous icebergs and black sand. Quite busy at the main part, but as soon as you start walking down the beach you're alone.

Going here is you have to drive down the mountain, you see cliff along the sides when in the car. We hiked along the side, it was foggy we we’re able to see just the first waterfall then when the fog disappeared it was actually six’s continues waterfalls. I love this place, colorful surrounding.

Beautiful area to do some hiking and see the big glaciers of Vatnajökull. You can choose your own route and difficulty, but if you're able you should definitely go up route 55 or 56 to the edge of the glacier.

We parked at the other parking, not the main one, and walked the small trail (marked as red - difficult) up the hill. It is not really difficult, only compared to the other way from the main parking marked as blue, it is more wild (& more fun) :) In total it took us 2h walking up, staying and the waterfall taking fotos and coming back down. Be careful as some part of the trail might be covered by ice in winter (very slippery).

Fardagafoss is located close to the road to Seydisfjördur, a few kilometres out of Egilsstadir. There is a hike of about 30 Minutes from the parking area up to the waterfall.On the way you'll have a nice view to Egilsstadir and the lake Lagarfljot.
