The Iceberg Lagoon, is considered one of the natural wonders of Iceland and with good reason. The first time I laid eyes on the group of icebergs, it brought a smile to my face. The lagoon is a water body at the base of a glacier and as ice breaks off of Europe’s largest glacier, some of these icebergs can hang out in this lagoon for as long as five years.

Everything natural in Iceland is free. So many places you go to, like here, are completely free of charge. There is no entry fee into any of the national parks either. That being said, they offer little to no services in most of them. There are few garbages, washrooms or anything like that. Occasionally you’ll see some signs explain what occurred to the landscape around you, sometimes walkways but that’s about it.

We first saw the lagoon at night and the set of pictures with the sun lowered was from that evening. We found a hotel (Hali Guesthouse) in the area and went back later in the evening to enjoy the site. We were there with only about ten other people. The sun was about as low as it gets in these pictures and as the sun went in and out of the clouds, the colors in the lagoon were constantly changing. The water, the sky and the colors in the icebergs were never the same for long.

The next day we returned and took a tour on a boat to get closer to them. Even from the night before, the change in some of the larger ones were evident. There are about 100 seals that live in the lagoon and one came out to play for us.

Check it out.
