Jökulsárlón and the Diamond Beach

Photos & Travel Stories from Iceland

But before I continue with my impressions of our drive and visit to Jökulsárlón, please let me give you an idea where you can find it on the map. Jökulsárlón is located directly at the main Road 1. (also called the Ring Road, and in Icelandic: Þjóðvegur 1 or Hringvegur). It is about 4:50 hours / 380 kilometres drive east of Reykjavik according to maps, but for us driven took more time than was indicated.

location on the map: 64.0762457, -17.3298893.

Another important thing is to ensure to have a filled gas tank because distances are long here and gas stations are few and far between in this area.

It would be great to hear from you!
