Description
Jökulsárlón, a large glacial lake in southeast Iceland, on the edge of Vatnajökull National Park. Situated at the head of the Breiamerkurjökull glacier, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
The lake developed only about 60 years ago (1948 is mentioned), when the entire area was less than 100 ft (30 m) of glacier, which was only 250 yd (230 m) from the Atlantic Ocean, and 2 mi (3.2 km) away from Vatnajökull.
Vatnajökull was at the shore line of the ocean and dropped icebergs into the ocean. However, it started drifting inland rapidly every year, leaving deep gorges en route, which got filled with melted water and large chunks of ice.
