Itinerary description

Iceland South - Route 1 - Fjallsárlón
View of Fjallsárlón Glacier Lake

Very easy. Great View.

Fjallsárlón is a glacier lake at the south end of the Icelandic glacier Vatnajökull. Fjallsjökull which is part of the bigger glacier reaches down to the water of the lake and some ice-bergs are drifting by on its surface.

The glacier calving into the lagoon is a part of Vatnajökull National Park and the better known glacier lake Jökulsárlón is not far from there. From the glacier lake Breiðárlón a little river flows into the Fjallsárlón.

Fjallsárlón è un lago glaciale all'estremità meridionale del ghiacciaio islandese Vatnajökull. La lingua glaciale del Fjallsjökull, cha parte da questo ghiacciaio, arriva fino al lago, spezzandosi poi in iceberg che coprono la sua superficie.
