If you’ve come to Iceland because of its breathtaking scenery, then it goes against the grain to tuck yourself away indoors, right? Choosing to camp means you can enjoy the outdoors for much longer and if the weather’s agreeable, have breakfast outside. In this article, we’ll take a look at the campsites that are nearest to Fjallsárlón and also explore what you can expect if you want to upgrade your experience in one of our floating glamping huts.
Icebergs are a big part of what attracts visitors to Fjallsárlón. These floating chunks of ice take on various sizes, shapes and forms. Close up, on one of our boat trips, you’ll see that they’re not uniform in colour either; some are a translucent shade of turquoise, while others are streaked with black ash. But have you ever wondered where they came from and how they got there? In this piece we’ll take a look at the life cycle of an iceberg in Fjallsárlón and find out.
If you’re prepared to drive along Iceland’s magnificent south coast as far as Fjallsárlón – and why wouldn’t you? – you’ll want to make the most of your time once you get there.

We’ll assume for the purposes of this article that your visit will be in summer, but you can make this work in spring or autumn as well because there’ll be ample daylight.
The south east of Iceland might be a sparsely populated part of the country, but its extraordinary landscapes mean that only a fool would rush through it.

Of course we’re excited to welcome you to Fjallsárlón, but there’s plenty more to keep you busy in the area.
On a fine day, there’s surely nothing better than the view from atop one of Iceland’s glaciers. Blessed with clear visibility and blue skies, you can see for miles and drink in the country’s incredible landscapes. But in Iceland, weather conditions can change rapidly. This unpredictability is what makes it so special when the clouds lift or the rain eases. Yet it also has implications for anyone who plans to hike here, even in summer. In this piece, we’ll take a look at what you need to know to make sure you stay safe if you’re hiking around glaciers in Iceland.
If you’ve been researching a visit to one of Iceland’s famously breathtaking glacier lagoons, then chances are you’ve whittled it down to a couple: Fjallsárlón and Jökulsárlón.

But the two lagoons have very different characteristics. In this article, we’ll explore why Fjallsárlón stays quieter than Jökulsárlón and why that matters.

Imagine stepping on to a frozen landscape that has been sculpted through centuries of ice, you feel the crunch of the ancient ice underneath your feet, and all around you there are different colors of blue and white, and deep crevasses. Welcome to glacier hiking!
Glacier hiking is one of the most popular activities to do in Iceland. No wonder, in Iceland, especially on the South Coast of the island, you will find majestic glaciers on every turn. These glaciers are fairly easily accessible, but at the same time people should be extremely careful and not venture onto a glacier without proper guidance. Around the Vatnajökull National Park area you will find many companies that operate guided glacier experiences. At Fjallsárlón you will find one of those companies that promises a fantastic glacier adventure, and no crowds!.
