Jökulsárlón is a large glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland, on the borders of Vatnajökull National Park. Situated at the head of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull, it evolved into a lagoon after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the Icelandic glaciers.
You can see a procession of luminous icebergs coming from the glacier, crossing the lagoon and being transported to the ocean.
Jökulsárlón has been a setting for four Hollywood movies. Among them, Lara Croft Tomb Raider, a well-known movie.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider is an adventure thriller film released in 2001 and starring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft.
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, in this scene was standing in for Siberia.
