Fjallsárlón glacial lagoon

Fjallsárlón is a glacial lagoon at the southern edge of Vatnajökull glacier, about 10 km west of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. The lagoon lies within Vatnajökull National Park and is reached from Road 1.

The lagoon sits below Fjallsjökull, a steep glacier tongue that descends from Vatnajökull into the water. Visitors can stop for views of the glacier, floating ice, and the surrounding moraine landscape. Fjallsárlón is often a quieter alternative to nearby Jökulsárlón, although conditions and visitor numbers vary by season.

Boat tours are available on the lagoon, and there is a bistro on site. As with all glacier areas, visitors should stay on marked paths, keep away from unstable ice, and check local conditions before traveling in winter.
