Iceland : Jökulsárlón

En français















We get up early as we have a long way to Jökulsárlón. Jökulsárlón is a sort of lake created from the Glacier and finding his way to the Atlantic ocean. It is famous for the iceberg falling from Breiðamerkurjökull (that's the name of the Glacier).
We spend the morning there, looking at the icebergs and the seals swimming in the lake and warm up ourselves with a little bit of the delicious local fish soup.
