Hiking Iceland's Vatnajökull Glacier
This was a day tour from Reykjavík to the Vatnajökull Glacier and the Jökulsárlón Glacial Lake, organized by Arctic Adventures (Note: This is not a sponsored video).
Jökulsárlón is a glacial lake with icebergs from the Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier, which is part of Vatnajökull. It has a has a maximum depth of about 814 feet (almost 250 meters).
Vatnajökull is a retreating glacier covering 3,127 square miles (8,098 km2), and has an average thickness of 1,300 feet (400 m). The glacier is covered with ashes from the Grímsvötn volcano, which erupted in 2004, forcing air traffic to be re-routed. Iceland has a large number of active volcanos, some under glaciers, and some peaking above them.
This is a long day tour - about 18 hours, including the trip from Reykjavík, stops for food, stopping at Jökulsárlón and hiking Vatnajökull. It is absolutely worth it though. Alternatively, you could drive across the South Coast of Iceland and stay in Höfn for a night.
Our First Glacier Trek - Svínafellsjökull Glacier, Iceland
The Svínafellsjökull Glacier on the south east coast of Iceland, it stretches down from the massive ice cap Vatnajökull.
This glacier was used as a film location for Interstellar as the ‘Mann’ ice planet. It was also used as a location for Game of Thrones and Batman Begins.
We take a trek over the glacier which is sprinkled with the black ash from the last eruption in the area (2011). The surface of ice exposed to the sun is white (the sun layer) but underneath the ice is a rich blue.
There are various hikes you can take over this spectacular landscape, we went for the easy one which is more of a trek but you do get to wear crampons and have an ice pick.

A Visit to Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon in December 2016
This is our Day 2 visit to the icy landscape of Iceland, After an overnight stay in Klaustur, we left for Jokulsarlon which is at the south eastern edge of Vatnajokull National Park. It was a tricky drive in the dark morning because of the snow covered road with the passing oncoming traffic. The hilly landscape on the left compared with the flat land on the right which open to the ocean. Jokulsarlon consisted of the lake which formed by the melted glacier with floating icebergs. Later, we drove to the nearby blacksand beach with scattered ice blocks washed ashore by the Atlantic ocean.

Treasure Island Ice Cave, Vatnajökull, Iceland
Treasure Island ice cave tour and glacier walk with Blue Iceland tour company:
Vatnajökull Glacier in south Iceland is the largest ice cap in Europe, covering 9-11% of Iceland. Next to Jökulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, the area boasts ample opportunity for glacier hiking and ice caving. It is a must-have stop for Iceland tourists exploring the Ring Road, Golden Circle, or south coast of Iceland. The area is situated between Vìk and Höfn, making it an easy day trip for anyone in the area.

Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon - Iceland
Coordonnées: 64°01′07″N 16°23′06″W
Durée de l'activité: 00h30
Coût: Gratuit
Le lac glaciaire Fjallsárlón est situé en Islande.
Je vous dévoile un petit secret pour accéder de plus près à ce lac issu du glacier Fjallsjökull. Il faut prendre la route à gauche tout de suite après le pont de la rivière Hrútá. Plus précisément, cette route se situe entre les ponts des rivières Hrútá et Fjallsa.
Il faut rouler sur cette route de gravier sur environ 2 km et poursuivre vers la gauche lorsque la route se divise en deux jusqu'à un petit stationnement. Il y a un sentier qui part du stationnement et qui mène directement au lac.
Encore un glacier, me direz-vous? Impossible de demeurer insensible devant une telle beauté de la nature. Et ce silence bienfaisant qui nous apaise.
Que nous trois, seuls devant ce somptueux paysage. Nous avons vraiment l'impression que le temps s'est arrêté car il n'y a aucun bruit, c'est le calme plat.
Le lac se trouve à la base d'un immense glacier et plusieurs icebergs, d'un ton bleuté, rendent le spectacle encore plus saisissant.
Il est possible d'avoir un autre beau point de vue de ce lac en prenant la Route Fjallsárlón. C'est ce que nous avons fait. L'endroit est très fréquenté. Des agences proposent des excursions.

IceHover on Glacier Lagoon
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon hovercraft sightseeing tour kick off.
Ice Lagoon - Icelandic Glacier Lake - Jokulsarlon
The icebergs that calve from the glacier edge move towards the river mouth and get entrenched at the bottom. The movement of the icebergs fluctuates with the tide currents, as well as being affected by wind.
Huge blocks of ice constantly break off the glacier, Breiðamerkurjökull, and large icebergs float on the Ice Lagoon.
The icebergs are seen in two shades: milky white and bright blue, which depends on the air trapped within the ice and is an interplay of light and ice crystals.
During the excursion we sail among the huge icebergs in the picturesque scenery of Jökulsárlón in amphibian boat.
