Fjallsárlón has launched the first of its kind experience in Iceland, Ice Floating. This experience has been very popular in countries like Finland for some time now and we are extremely excited to introduce this experience to the Icelandic market.
Ice Floating is just what it says, floating amongst the ice on Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon in the 0 degree water. Don’t worry, it’s not cold as the protective suit will keep you warm along with good clothing underneath. You will be dressed in a floatation suit called an “immersion suit” and enjoy floating around the icy lagoon. It’s completely safe as the floatation suits will keep you floating on the water and the guides will be there to make sure all is going well. Floating around the lagoon is very relaxing as you are laying down in the water listening to the sounds of the pure nature around you.
Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon truly is the perfect place to do ice floating in Iceland. The lagoon is not too big so it freezes over during the high winter season. When the lake freezes over, the icebergs get stuck in the ice and create an amazing backdrop among the glacier edge and the towering mountains. The lake is fed with water from Fjallsjökull glacier, an outlet glacier of Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull. These elements have carved out the Fjallsárlón area through the centuries and created this beautiful lagoon. That water then continues down the Fjallsá river. The area is known for offering a more intimate experience with the glacier and mountain ranges over Jökulsárlón. So, when you are relaxing and floating around in the lagoon, you will truly feel embraced by the natural elements and feel the presence of the immense glacier and mountain range.
The ice floating experience is completely safe! When you arrive at Fjallsárlón base camp, you will receive a protective floatation suit. This suit is a high-quality immersion suit that will keep you dry, warm, and floating on top of the water. You do not need to be a fantastic swimmer or be an expert in cold tubs! Our expert guides will also be there with you to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible while you disconnect from daily stress.
