South Coast and Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon 2 day tour

where we'll see Mount Hengill volcano, the lush farmlands of Floi area and the
Þjorsa river. We'll also see the infamous Eyjafjallajokull, whose eruption shut
down translatantic air traffic, Skogafoss waterfall, Myrdalsjokull glacier with
Katla volcano underneath the icecap and the endless plains of black sand at
Skeidararsandur.
From
Skaftafell you journey to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon located at the end of Breidamerkurjokull
glacier that branching the great Vatnajokull glacier. With a depth of around
250 metres, this roughly 18 square kilometre lagoon is packed with huge pieces
of ice that have broken loose from the glacier, silently floating towards the
sea.
After
you have enjoyed the dramatic scenery of Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon the course
is set for a nearby accommodation where where we will enjoy dinner (dinner is
not included in tour price) and relax for the remainder of the evening.
During
winter time, if the weather is good and the skies clear, you might be able to
experience the amazing northern lights flickering in the sky.

breakfast on day two, you get to spend some time at Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon
and also take a walk by the lagoon and explore the black sand shores where
seals are commonly seen basking.
Returning
west towards Reykjavik we stop at more attractions on the way, including the
charming village of Vik and Seljalandsfoss, arguably Iceland's most picturesque
waterfall. Seljalandsfoss presents the perfect opportunity to walk behind a
waterfall and feel the cool mist of water on your face.
