Jökulsarlon
Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in
Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull
between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. Appearing first only in
1934-1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km² in 1975 to at least 18 km² today
because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth
of 200 m, Jökulsárlón is now probably the second deepest lake in
Iceland.
