Encircling the southern end of Jökulsárlón is an elevated section of sand and rock. As you can see in the left corner of this photo, this is a perfect place to savor the dreamy spectacle of Glacier’s River Lagoon from shore. If you have time, treat yourself to Breiðamerkursandur. This is where the ice flow meets the North Atlantic. Locals call it Diamond Beach because of the dazzling ice crystals dancing in the surf and washing up on the black stone coastline. To find it, walk along the Jokulsar River starting at the bridge.
