Glacier
Jökulsárlón
Blue icebergs drift across a glacier lagoon before waves scatter them over the black sand of Diamond Beach.
Follow the shore path above the café for glacier views, then use the path under the bridge to Diamond Beach. Its eastern side catches backlit ice against black sand. Never step onto floating ice or climb beach bergs: they can roll, and waves rush far up the shore. Drone restrictions protect nesting birds and busy areas; check park rules before flying.
