Jökulsárlón is an amazing lake in Vatnajökull National Park, S E Iceland. In 2002 it was the scene for the James Bond car chase in 'Die Another Day' and has appeared in other films such as 'A View to a Kill', and 'Batman Begins'.
Trips are available on amphibious vehicles which take you even closer to the 'bergs.
We visited the lake on the last day of our 2 weeks in Iceland and after seeing so many glaciers etc we were quite blase about it. Nothing really prepared us for the incredible site that greeted us. This was the view from the coach as we headed over the bridge.

As we were there in summer, the lake contained hundreds of icebergs broken off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. In winter the lake freezes over.

All in all, it was another stunning day out and even more reason to recommend Iceland to everyone. On the coach trip back to our lodge I was even able to take this photo of a rainbow from inside the coach.
Awesome Iceland!
