Iceland (3) - Jökulsárlón

Day 3
Today's plan was to go back to Jökulsárlón (which means glacier lagoon), and maybe stop at some other places along the way if the weather was good. Unfortunately it rained all day so we only visited Jökulsárlón. Two Bond movies (Die Another Day and A View to a Kill) had scenes shot here. The lagoon was also featured in the first stage of The Amazing Race 6. It's a stunningly beautiful place. It just didn't show it today.

1. Along the Ring Road.


2. For 2,800 ISK/person, you can take a boat ride in the lagoon, which lasts ~40 minutes.


3. The lagoon was filled with icebergs, both big and small.


4. Jökulsárlón.


5. A small boat follows the tour boat in case someone falls in the water.


6. Small icebergs can get out of the lagoon, and entering sea here.


7. Some icebergs were beached.


8. Dave hard at work despite the weather.
