Fjallsárlón is a lagoon formed by the melting waters of the Fjallsjökull terminus. It is easy to walk along the stone-filled moraine for a close look at the floating icebergs. Although this glacier is impressive, it is only a small outlet of its parent Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier by volume. This glacier lake is not as popular as Jökulsárlón, its neighbor about six miles away. So you can explore Fjallsárlón in relative solitude. Then, rather than driving, consider taking the Breiðármörk Trail for a 9.5 mile challenging hike to Jökulsárlón.
