On the road - Arnés to Berunes, 10/20: Jökulsárlón

While we were driving around Vatnajökull we came across Jökulsárlón - not at the time knowing that it was a major tourist attraction in the area. Jökulsárlón is a glacial melt pool, where one of the tongues of Vatnajökull melts into the sea. There was an amazing quietness and tranquility to the place, the air was super crisp and clear, with a wonderful fresh breeze gently rolling off the glacier.
