Fjallsárlón

Before we dive into the details here, it’s worth mentioning that if you’re making a round trip visit back towards Vik or Reykjavík, you should go a bit further to visit Jökulsárlón first and then visit Fjallsárlón on the way back. By doing so, you get this attraction pretty much all to yourself if you visit at the end of the day.

When you arrive, there is a pretty spacious parking lot available right off Route 1 and facilities are available with places to eat and bathrooms – they are open from 9:30am-6pm. Up to the left of the building, there is a clear path to follow that will bring you to the Fjallsárlón ice lagoon area. The view in the images featured above isn’t visible from the parking lot, but it’s only about a 10 minute walk from the parking lot to get down to the water’s edge. Along the walk, the glacier starts to appear over a ridge and the further you walk, the more you’ll want to stop to take pictures – it’s truly an amazing sight.
