🏔️ Nearby Sights
Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance
Svartifoss
0.5 km away (air distance)
Svartifoss is a graceful waterfall in Skaftafell, framed by a curtain of dark, hexagonal basalt columns that look like organ pipes. The water falls only about twenty metres, but the contrast of the white water against the black rock makes it unforgettable, and a forested path leads there.
Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon
29 km away (air distance)
Boat tours run in season and bring you close to the glacier front, and walking paths along the shore offer easy views. Visit at sunrise or sunset for the best light. It is about fifteen minutes by car from Jökulsárlón, so you can easily see both on the same day. Dress warmly, since the wind off the ice is cold.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
36 km away (air distance)
The lagoon has grown rapidly since the glacier started retreating in the 20th century, and it is now one of the deepest lakes in Iceland. A short channel connects it to the Atlantic, so seawater flows in and out with the tides. This mix of fresh and salt water attracts fish and, in turn, seals and seabirds.
