The Land of Ice & Fire (Part 25 - Jökulsárlón)

[MPone]

Jökulsárlón is a glacial lagoon, bordering Vatnajökull National Park in southeastern Iceland. Its still, blue waters are dotted with icebergs from the surrounding Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier, part of larger Vatnajökull Glacier. The Glacier Lagoon flows through a short waterway into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving chunks of ice on a black sand beach. In winter, the fish-filled lagoon hosts hundreds of seals.

Excellent video!
I spent a week in Iceland earlier this year, with my Mavic, and would have loved to have known about the lagoon.
Did you have to obtain permission for that area?

This lagoon is just off the ring road on the south side of the island. It’s a drone restricted zone. I flew outside the attraction area.

Very very nice, best yet, definitely my favourite so far.
How old is that glacial ice then, incredible place.

Not sure how old it is but I tasted the ice and it's nice.

One of my favorite places in Iceland. I've been twice and heading there again this summer. I'm really enjoying your series.
