Jokulsarlon ice lagoon is one of the most visited places in Iceland. It has been created by the rapid retreat of the Breidamerkurjokull glacier which sweeps down off the Vatnajokull ice cap. Ice bergs calve off the front and float into the lagoon before floating out to sea when small enough. All of Icelands glaciers are retreating rapidly, and are predicted to disapear completely in the next 100 years. James Bond and Batman movies have been filmed at the ice lagoon.
