Jökulsárlón has been a setting for four Hollywood movies, including two James Bond movies. It is one of the natural wonders of Iceland and a major tourist attraction.  It´s easy to find, by highway nr. 1, about 60 km. east of Skaftafell (Vatnajökull) National Park. Boat trips on the lake are available.  Find here another picture from Jökulsárlón lake.
