Located opposite Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach is one of the prettiest black sand beaches in Iceland. It’s covered in icebergs which have washed onto the sand from the lagoon next to it. In the right light, it looks like it’s sparking with hundreds of diamonds.

Nestled within Vatnajökull National Park, Jökulsárlón is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. Located approximately 236 miles (380 km) from Reykjavik—about a 5-hour drive—this breathtaking glacial lagoon is renowned for its floating icebergs, calved from Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull.

Vatnajokull National Park covers nearly 15% of Iceland and includes Europe’s largest glacier, volcanoes, canyons, and countless natural wonders.
