Jökulsárlón is one of the most amazing natural wonders of
Iceland and one of the most popular places to visit.
The lagoon started to form in 1934 when the glacier started to retreat
in the area. In 1956 the size of the lagoon was 4,5 square kilometers
and in 1975 the lagoon had reached the size of 8 square kilometers.
Today the size of the lagoon is estimated to be around 25 square
kilometers and it's constantly getting larger as approximately 500
square meters of ice break off the glacier every year. Jökulsárlón is
the deepest lake in Iceland with maximum depth of 260 meters in front of
the glacier edge.
