Lake Jokulsarlon is a glacial lake located in southeastern Iceland, near the Vatnajokull glacier. The lake formed as a result of the melting of the Breidamerkurjokull glacier, which has been retreating rapidly over the past century. The lake is relatively shallow, with a maximum depth of approximately 250 meters, and covers an area of about 18 square kilometers. It is fed by several glacial rivers, and its water is a distinctive blue-green color due to the presence of fine glacial sediment. One of the most notable features of Lake Jokulsarlon is its floating icebergs, which break off from the glacier and drift across the lake. These icebergs can be quite large, with some measuring up to 30 meters in height. The lake is also home to a variety of marine life, including seals and fish. Lake Jokulsarlon has become a popular tourist destination in recent years, with visitors coming to see the stunning scenery and take boat tours around the lake. It has also been featured in several films, including the James Bond movie "Die Another Day" and the science fiction film "Interstellar."
