Jökulsárlón - Iceland

The lake can be seen from Route 1 between Höfn and Skaftafell. It appears as "a ghostly procession of luminous blue icebergs".

Is a large glacial lake in southeast Iceland, on the edge of Vatnajökull National Park.
Situated at the head of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the glaciers. It is now 1.5 kilometres away from the ocean's edge and covers an area of about 18 km2.

It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 248 metres, as glacial retreat extended its boundaries.

The size has increased fourfold since the 1970s It is considered as one of the natural wonders of Iceland.
