It's worth stopping here. There are benches with a view of the lagoon, including small icebergs and seals. As it is one of the hotspots of the Golden Circle, there is a lot going on here.

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is one of the most impressive landscapes in southern Iceland. Here, huge blocks of ice break off from the Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier and float slowly into the Atlantic, creating a spectacle of blues, whites, and blacks that changes every hour. Bike access is easy from the main road, with laybys where you can stop and enjoy the view at your leisure. It's a good idea to dress warmly: the air descending from the glacier is icy cold even in summer. If you're lucky, you'll see seals resting on the icebergs or swimming among them. It's a hypnotic place, where the silence is broken only by the cracking of the ice and the birds flying over the lagoon.
