6Jokulsarlon, Iceland

The name “Jökulsárlón” means “glacial river lagoon.” This lagoon spans an area of 18 square kilometers. With a depth of 248 meters, it is the deepest lake in all of Iceland.  

It is also the largest in Iceland. Veteran visitors agree that what actually first catches your eye about this glacial lagoon is how blue the water is. It has a nigh crystalline quality to it that makes it unique and almost hypnotizing. Complete with striking white icebergs, Jökulsárlón formed between 1934 and 1935, is a part of Vatnajökull National Park, found near the city of Hofn.
