Watch the sunset at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach

After visiting Svartifoss waterfall, we went to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach to watch the sunset in the evening. 1. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon This is the largest glacial lake in Iceland, and its appearance is due to global warming. In 1935, the Vatnajökull glacier melted due to high temperatures and many icebergs were pushed onto the glacier tongue Breiðamerkurjökull, forming today's glacial lagoon. The glacier is retreating at a rate of more than 100 meters every year, causing the lake to grow larger. After parking in the parking lot, you can directly overlook the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and the sunset is very beautiful and romantic. 2 Diamond beach Located on the other side of the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, there are stranded ice blocks of various sizes, which look like tens of thousands of sparkling diamonds from a distance. These transparent ice cubes that resemble diamonds are newly formed and still contain gas inside. On the contrary, the dark blue ice is multi-year ice with a very long history. This is the result of long-term compression, dense structure without air, and reflection. Be careful when the wind is strong as the waves are bigger and you may be swept away easily. #GlobalTravel
