    Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is a natural wonder of our world formed by the constant melting and breaking of the glacier.

It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 248 metres (814 feet), as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. The Glacial Lagoon is part of Vatnajokull National Park.

    Diamond Beach is a black sand beach located just beyond the bridge from the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. The ice pieces are the remnants of the large icebergs from the lagoon.

You can walk around them and take some awesome pictures.

The church offers a panoramic view of the settlement, the beach and the basalt columns of Reynisdrangar. On the beach there is a statue of the Traveler: a man looking into the distance. It has it`s twin in the port of Hull, UK. The two monuments are facing each other, symbolizing the centuries-old trade alliance between Iceland and the British Kingdom.

To the north you see Mýrdalsjökull glacier, to the east you will see the beautiful black lava seastacks Reynisdrangar and to the west you can view the endless black coastline and then in front of the peninsula there is a huge black arch of lava reaching out into the sea which the peninsula takes its name from. Dyrhólaey literally means "the hill island with the door hole". It's 120 m high and you are able to walk the arch or the bridge if you are not afraid of heights. Up there you can also find a spectacular and big "castle shaped" lighthouse.

You are in an area where glacial water flows down hillsides and merges into a vast field. You'll cross the beds of numerous mountain rivers and streams, some of which are extremely difficult to overcome due to their flooding and rocky nature. The trail alone would be no less adventurous than staying in the valley. The Thórsmörk has many interesting places to visit.
