[2025 Hornafjordur Attraction] Travel Guide for Diamond Beach (Updated Apr)

This place is so unique and wonderful. I pay tribute to the natural beauty here. This is a black sand beach with large chunks of ice that have floated from the melting Jökulsárlón glacier. When these icebergs are broken into pieces by the waves, it becomes so breathtaking that you can't take your eyes off it. It's called Diamond Beach because when sunlight and light hit these ice chunks, they sparkle like diamonds. This place is a tourist destination, but it's very quiet. The beauty of this place is such that you can't guess its magnificence unless you visit. A must-see in Iceland!

#naturalbeauty During my summer vacation, I had the chance to visit Diamond Beach in Iceland, and it was truly a highlight! 🌋🏖️ Located near Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, this beach is renowned for its stunning, ice-crystal-studded black sand. The entrance is free, which is amazing considering the unique beauty you'll witness here. The ice chunks, which come from the nearby glacier, glisten like diamonds against the dark volcanic sand, creating a surreal and breathtaking landscape. It’s a photographer’s dream! The contrast of the ice with the roaring Atlantic waves makes for an otherworldly experience. Nearby, the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon offers even more incredible sights, where you can see massive icebergs floating in the serene lagoon. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, consider taking a boat tour there. Definitely make time for these spots if you’re exploring Iceland. The natural beauty is simply unforgettable. #trip #DiamondBeach #IcelandAdventures #GlacierLagoon #TravelGoals #NatureLovers

Experiencing the scenery in person 🌋 is far more spectacular than capturing it in photos 📸. LIVE photos can really preserve some of the shock and vibrant life 🌿! 📍 Diamond Beach Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This is the most shocking landscape for me. My mind was filled with thoughts about how this thing was formed 🤨, how Diamond Beach really has 'diamonds' 💎. The fine, seamless black sand beach is dotted with crystal-clear ice diamonds 🧊, perfect for photos 📷. It's just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful❗️❗️ 📝 Tips: Later, I learned that the ice diamonds 💎 are not naturally frozen in the sea but are parts of the Vatnajökull glacier that have broken off, sculpted by seawater, and washed ashore 🏝. 🚗 Transportation: All the sights mentioned below are along Iceland's Route 1, the scenery is really nice, and the route is simple. 📍 Seljalandsfoss Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It can be said to be the representative waterfall of Iceland 🇮🇸, a true water curtain cave 💦. When you get close to the waterfall, you can feel the majestic water flow crashing down, the mist hitting your face, it's really shocking❗️ 🚗 Transportation: If driving, head southeast from Reykjavik along Route 1 to the Seljalands River, turn left onto Route 249 after crossing the bridge, and you'll be there. 📝 Tips: The parking lot charges a fee. Be sure to wear waterproof clothes, pants, and shoes! 🌂 📍 Skogafoss Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of the three major waterfalls in the Golden Circle 🔱, this waterfall is also called the 'Rainbow Waterfall' 🌈 because you can often see rainbows when the sun ☀️ is out. It has a fairy-like aura, perfect for photos 🤳! It's also a filming location for many movies 🎬, such as 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and 'Game of Thrones', where Jon Snow and Daenerys 🐉 kiss at the Northern Waterfall! 💕💕 🚗 Transportation: It's about a 40-minute drive from Seljalandsfoss. 📍 Black Sand Beach Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Listed as one of the world's top ten most beautiful beaches by the American 🇺🇸 'Islands Magazine' 🤩, the endless black ◼️ is pure and transparent, silent, lonely, and free. The basalt columns nearby are also very beautiful, it's hard to believe such neat shapes are natural. 😯 🚗 Transportation: Located in the middle of Iceland's south coast, next to the town of Vik. I hope everyone can go to the places they want to visit, have a pleasant journey!! 💖💖

The Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon in southern Iceland flows into the Atlantic Ocean through a short waterway. Some of the ice is washed back to the shore by the waves, leaving behind shiny ice blocks of different sizes on the black sand beach, which is also known as the Diamond Black Sand Beach. There were a lot of ice cubes scattered on the beach. I was so engrossed in taking photos that two hours passed in a flash. #Travel Photo Girl#Where to go in December

The diamond-like ice blocks on Iceland's Diamond Beach are actually black sand beaches that drifted from the nearby glacial lake to the shore, forming this unique place. On the third day of our self-driving tour, we arrived at the Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach in the morning, and then went to the nearby lobster town of Hofn for lunch. We had to drive a relatively long distance to get closer to the attractions we were going to visit tomorrow, but these two attractions in the morning left me with deep memories. #TheMostStylishTravelExperience #GoToTheBorderInDecember #ScenicScenicPhotographyGuide #TravelInspiration #NaturalWonders #Overseas Travel

▪️Iceland｜Iceland Located in the North Atlantic Ocean, it is known as the "Land of Ice and Fire" and has active geological activities, with a large number of glaciers, volcanoes, geothermal fountains and waterfalls. Iceland is located near the Arctic Circle, where you can observe the aurora borealis in winter and polar day in summer. - ▪️Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon Located in the south of Vatnajökull glacier, the lake is filled with ice blocks of different sizes floating on the surface, formed by the meltwater from the glacier. The lake water flows into the Atlantic Ocean through short rivers, and the ice is slowly moved by the tides. Boat trips are available in some areas, allowing you to observe the ice floes up close. 📍 Jökulsárlón, Iceland - ▪️Golden Circle｜Golden Circle Iceland's classic tourist route includes three major natural landscapes: 📌 The geyser is located in a geothermal area. The Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, with a water column up to 30 meters high. 📌 Thingvellir National Park is located at the intersection of the Eurasian Plate and the American Plate, and the surface fault zone is clearly visible; 📌 The Golden Falls is a two-level waterfall. The river water falls into the canyon from a height of 32 meters, and the water volume is abundant all year round. 📍 Golden Circle, Iceland - ▪️Black Sand Beach｜Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach Located on the south coast of Iceland, it was formed by the cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption, and the beach is black. The basalt columns along the coast are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are three sea stacks in the nearby sea area, which were formed due to long-term erosion by wind and waves. The area is windy and rough, with waves changing rapidly. 📍 Reynisfjara, Iceland - ▪️Volcano Adventures There are many volcanoes in Iceland and geological activities are active. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, leaving lava debris around the crater. The Turismok geothermal area offers the experience of going inside a volcano and observing the magma pathways after an eruption. - ▪️Blue Lagoon Hot Spring｜Blue Lagoon Located in a geothermal area near Reykjavik, the lake water is rich in silica and minerals, giving it a milky blue color. The water temperature remains at 37-39°C all year round. The lake is surrounded by black lava landforms and the water comes from underground thermal energy circulation. 📍 Blue Lagoon, Iceland - ▪️Aurora Borealis Iceland is located in the Northern Lights belt, and the aurora can be seen from September to April of the following year. Observation points include the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Akureyri and Thingvellir National Park. The appearance of auroras is influenced by solar wind activity, and their intensity and frequency vary depending on weather conditions. - ▪️Natural hot springs and waterfalls 📌 Seljalandsfoss: The water falls from a 60-meter-high cliff. There is a trail behind the waterfall that allows you to go around to the back of the waterfall. 📌 Skogafoss: The waterfall is 25 meters wide and 60 meters high, with abundant water. Rainbows are common due to long-term water mist. 📌 Reykjada Hot Springs River: Located in the geothermal area, the river water is kept at a suitable temperature due to the influx of underground hot springs, and it can be used for natural hot spring soaking. - The following is a detailed guide for Icelandic volcano tourism, combining the latest developments and classic attractions to help you experience Iceland's "Song of Ice and Fire" safely and in depth: --- ### **1. Recommended volcanic attractions** 1. Thrihnukagigur - **Features**: The only volcano in the world that can be entered from the inside. The last eruption was 4,000 years ago. The internal magma chamber solidified to form colorful volcanic rock walls, just like the "center of the earth". - **Experience**: You need to book a professional expedition group 2-3 months in advance, take the elevator down to the bottom of the volcano 198 meters deep, and explore the 100,000 cubic meters of cave space. - **Note**: The number of places per day is limited. You need to prepare wind and cold protection equipment. You will be led by a guide throughout the trip. 2. Reykjanes Peninsula Volcanoes - **Current situation**: On April 1, 2025, the Songznuk volcanic zone erupted again (the 8th time in recent years), with a fissure up to 1,200 meters long and active lava flows. Currently, surrounding areas (such as the town of Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon) have been evacuated and tourists are advised to avoid the outbreak area. - **How ​​to watch**: You can take a helicopter to see the spectacular volcanic eruption (from a safe distance), or follow the real-time updates from the Icelandic Meteorological Office. 3. The Golden Circle - **Thingvellir National Park**: The boundary between the Eurasian and American plates, with magnificent graben landscape. - **Geysir**: Geothermal activity is frequent, erupting every few minutes and reaching a height of 40 meters. --- ### **Second, safety tips and latest developments** 1. **Avoidance of outbreak area**: - The eruption area and surrounding roads on the Reykjanes Peninsula are closed and entry is prohibited. Volcanic ash and harmful gases may affect health and evacuation orders from the Icelandic Civil Protection Department must be followed. 2. **Travel Advice**: - Follow the real-time warnings from the Icelandic Meteorological Office (vedur.is) and the Civil Protection and Emergency Management Authority (almannavarnir.is). - Avoid flying drones in no-fly zones. Violators will face heavy fines. --- ### **3. Volcano theme itinerary planning** **Recommended route (6 days and 5 nights)** - **Day 1-2: Reykjavik and surrounding areas** - Visit Hallgrímskirkja Church, Harpa Concert Hall and join a Northern Lights tour. - Relax at the Blue Lagoon (if open), paying attention to the evacuation of the outbreak area. - **Day 3-4: South Coast Adventure** - Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss (volcanic landforms and glacial meltwater interweave). - Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach (a glacial lagoon formed by volcanic activity). - **Day 5: Golden Circle Day Tour** - Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geyser. - **Day 6: Volcano Special Experience** - Expedition inside the Srinukkag volcano (book in advance) or helicopter tour over the Reykjanes Peninsula volcanoes. --- ### **Four. Practical Tips** 1. **Visa and Insurance**: A Schengen visa is required and it is recommended to purchase travel insurance that covers the risk of volcanic activity. 2. **Clothing and equipment**: waterproof and windproof jacket, non-slip hiking shoes, and helmet (essential for volcano exploration). 3. **Transportation**: It is recommended to rent a car (four-wheel drive is best), or choose a local volcano theme tour group. 4. **Accommodation**: - Blue Lagoon Silica Hotel (combination of hot springs and volcanic landscape). - The Reykjavik Edition Hotel (overlooking the city and volcanic landscape). --- ### **V.

It is recommended to plan the itinerary based on real-time geological dynamics and give priority to professional guide projects.

I came to the popular Diamond Beach and Jökulsárlón! This is the place I wanted to visit the most in Iceland! Glaciers have washed ashore and there is a lot of ice scattered on the beach! Parking costs about 1000 yen. It takes about 5 to 6 hours by car from Reykjavik airport. The journey is long, but the scenery is beautiful so it's not a hassle at all. If you're lucky, you can see seals and other animals. Boat trips are also available from here, but it's a popular activity and there are lines, so it's recommended to make a reservation. The cost of a boat trip is about 7000 yen. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qAuzVnjWss6CbsLL6 #0yentravelFebruary2025 #Icelandroadtrip

A must-see for self-driving tourists: Breiðamerkursandur, the newest attraction in the south Diamond Beach is located in Vatnajökull National Park on the south coast of Iceland. The region has a diverse geological landscape including glaciers, mountains, rivers and volcanoes It is also home to a variety of wild animals. I heard you can see seals. The scenic spot is about 370 kilometers away from the capital Lei City The journey takes about 4-5 hours Basically, after playing the winter limited event Blue Ice Cave The next trip can be to the nearby Diamond Beach and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Both attractions are nearby. Very close The diamonds on the beach are the result of the melting of the Vatnajökull glacier. Ice blocks of all sizes are carried to the sea along the waterway from the nearby glacial lake Jökulsárlón. Then washed ashore by the waves Looking around, it looks like huge diamonds inlaid on the black sand beach. So it is not a man-made attraction, but a beautiful black sand beach covered with natural crushed ice. If you can't catch the sunrise, you can go at sunset. #diamond #diamond beach #iceland #iceland itinerary #southerniceland #glacierlagoon #glacier

🌊 "If there is really a paradise in the world, then it must be the shape of Iceland." When you come to Iceland, you can really experience the fleeting changes in its weather. I spent four days in-depth tour of southern Iceland, and every moment seemed to be weaving through dreamlike poetry and painting. Day1: The large rift in Thingvellir Park seems to be a mysterious trace left by the earth. The geysers in the area of ​​the Golden Circle, the moment of that eruption full of power and surprise; Day2: The black sand beach of vik town is a unique chapter written by nature. And Diamond Sands and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lake are attached to each other, and the blending of ice and sea is like a fantastic fairy tale world. Day3: Scoga Falls is majestic, with water flowing like a galaxy falling into the sky. Sailiaran Falls is even more wonderful, with a detour behind the falls and a unique perspective that makes for breathtakingly beautiful photos taken. Day4: Enjoyed a physical and mental relaxation at Blue Lake, where the body care products are superb, perfect as a souvenir. On the streets of Reykjavik, I got super cute little lamb fridge patches from “iceland memories” along with fine wool soap. The souvenir chain “rammagerdin” has many in the city, and the area where these souvenir shops are concentrated can also pass the super beautiful Rainbow Street. Although we encountered extreme windy weather during the trip, the sunny weather after the storm was extremely precious. Luckily, I not only saw the brilliant rainbow, but also encountered the mysterious aurora, and everything I wanted to do came true, rounding out my trip to Iceland. If you are yearning for beauty at the end of the world, then come to Iceland, where there are surprises and touches you can’t think of.

At the edge of the world, there is a place known as the "Cold Wonderland" - Iceland. It boasts breathtaking natural landscapes, and the most captivating of all is the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon located within Vatnajökull National Park. This lagoon is like a dazzling diamond set on this vast land, attracting tourists from all over the world to admire its unique charm. The icebergs, with their peculiar shapes and varying sizes, resemble nature's meticulously crafted artworks, showcasing their allure on the stage of black sand dunes. However, behind this beautiful scene lies a harsh reality - global climate change is gradually eroding these wonders. As temperatures rise, the ice and snow in the glacier lagoon begin to melt, causing the water level to rise continuously and threatening the ecological balance of the area. Nevertheless, we can still feel the resilience and tenacity of life here. Perhaps one day in the future, when we reminisce about this journey, we will cherish everything before us even more and realize the importance of environmental protection. Let's step into this pure land at the world's end and experience its tranquility and mystery!

Uncover the secret of the beautiful place known as "God's Forgotten Diamond" - Diamond Ice Beach! 💎 🏖️ First sight·Symphony of ice and black 🌊 Imagine standing on the edge of the Breiðamerkursandur glacier plain, with a dark beach in front of you, and on the beach, countless transparent ice cubes flash in the sun, like countless bright diamonds scattered around the world. 💎 These ice cubes are gently pushed ashore from the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. They form a sharp contrast with the black sand beach and are breathtakingly beautiful! 😍 ☀️ Miracle under the sun·Diamond shining moment ✨ When the sun shines on this beach, the ice cubes begin to reflect dazzling light. Each piece is like a carefully carved work of art, shining with charming brilliance. Standing here, you feel like you are in a dreamy fairy tale world, witnessing the miracle of nature every second. 📸 Photography paradise·Capture the eternal beauty 📷 For photography lovers, this is a paradise! Whether it's the majestic scenery under the wide-angle lens or the details of the ice cubes under the macro lens, you can take pictures that look like blockbusters. Don’t forget, seals are also great models under your lens! 🦭 🐾 Seal’s Paradise·Intimate Contact with Wild Ecology 🌊 Wild seals are frequent visitors on this beach. They either lie leisurely on the ice and bask in the sun, or dive into the lake to play, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this beautiful scenery. Here, you can observe these lovely ocean elves up close and feel the harmony and beauty of nature. 💖 🔍 Reveal the origin of Diamond Beach 🌍 The formation of Diamond Beach is closely related to global warming. As the glaciers melted, more ice washed ashore, creating this unique landscape. Although this is a phenomenon caused by natural changes, it also reminds us to cherish and protect this hard-won beauty. 🌍

Vatnajökull National Park, where Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is located, is the largest and most famous national park in Iceland and the second largest national park in Europe after the Komi National Forest Park in Russia. The park is full of natural wonders and is Iceland’s greatest natural treasure, and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is undoubtedly the brightest jewel in this dazzling crown. Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is naturally formed by the melting water of glaciers. As the glaciers melt and ice fragments accumulate in the lake, the size of the glacier lake increases year by year, and the scenery becomes more and more charming. However, the beauty of Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is the high price of glacier melting and an intuitive consequence of current global warming. In addition, due to the frequent geological activities in Iceland, the scenery you see will be completely different every time you come here. Therefore, the beautiful scenery of the glacier lagoon and nearby ice tongues will present a unique scenery every time you visit. Glacier Lake: This is a lake formed by the melting water of glaciers. Ice blocks of different sizes and shapes that have peeled off Vatnajökull float on the lake surface. These ice blocks sparkle charmingly in the sun. Diamond Ice Beach: This is a black beach opposite the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. There are ice stones shining like diamonds stranded on it, hence the name "Diamond Ice Beach". These ice rocks are pieces of ice separated from glaciers and washed up on the beach by the action of sea water. Ice floes: Some of the ice floes in glacial lakes are blue, while others are colorless and transparent. This blue color is due to the scattering of light, which allows the red-orange light with longer wavelengths to directly penetrate, while the blue light with shorter wavelengths is fully scattered, giving the ice here a beautiful blue color. Vatnajökull: This is the source of the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and is the largest glacier in Iceland and even Europe. Visitors can take a boat or helicopter to view the spectacular scenery of the glacier. In addition, on the south coast of Iceland, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the Diamond Ice Beach not far away are the most popular places to watch the Northern Lights. Here, visitors can enjoy the aurora reflected on the water surface and the aurora in the sky. The ice cubes lie quietly on the glacial lagoon and the beach, forming a magnificent and artistic scene.

Located near the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon at the southern end of Vatnajökull, there is a wonder called Diamond Beach, known for its clear and transparent ice crystals and contrasting black sand beaches. The ice cubes here are like scattered gems, shining under the sunlight, as if they are works of art carefully carved by nature. This area is the result of the blending of ice and fire. The black volcanic sand and transparent ice crystals complement each other, bringing an extraordinary visual impact. When you set foot on this land, it is like traveling to a different world, experiencing the stillness of time and the peaceful beauty of nature.

If you have the opportunity to hunt the northern lights in Iceland, viewing the scenery along the way at many check-in points, middle-distance routes, this must be on your list of places to stop and visit. Dimonds beach is located on the black beach, the connection point from Vik to Vestrahorn (drive counterclockwise, southeast). It is the exit point of the glacier to the ocean. You will find ice fragments along the black beach, including large chunks floating in front of us in the sea. If you come in the morning, it will sparkle against the shimmering sunlight. Don't forget to pay the parking fee. If anyone is interested in taking a boat or as a starting point to see the nearby ice caves, you can do it. #Get a discount without relying on luck #Travel in Europe #Hunt for the Northern Lights #Iceland

After visiting Svartifoss waterfall, we went to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach to watch the sunset in the evening. 1. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon This is the largest glacial lake in Iceland, and its appearance is due to global warming. In 1935, the Vatnajökull glacier melted due to high temperatures and many icebergs were pushed onto the glacier tongue Breiðamerkurjökull, forming today's glacial lagoon. The glacier is retreating at a rate of more than 100 meters every year, causing the lake to grow larger. After parking in the parking lot, you can directly overlook the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and the sunset is very beautiful and romantic. 2 Diamond beach Located on the other side of the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, there are stranded ice blocks of various sizes, which look like tens of thousands of sparkling diamonds from a distance. These transparent ice cubes that resemble diamonds are newly formed and still contain gas inside. On the contrary, the dark blue ice is multi-year ice with a very long history. This is the result of long-term compression, dense structure without air, and reflection. Be careful when the wind is strong as the waves are bigger and you may be swept away easily. #GlobalTravel

#watersports Non-stop kayaking | Finally rowing to the end of the world, nature taught me Life is an experiential journey. Your sense of experience is the meaning Finally, one of the life experience lists, I rowed in the glacier lake of Iceland at the end of the world. If you also want to bring your own boat to Iceland and kayak in the glacier lake, please receive this practical guide! Flat Iceland's glacial lakes suitable for boating: 1 Jokulsarlon Glacier Lake: One of the famous scenic spots in Iceland. It is a large glacial lake with large and a lot of floating ice. I row a boat here. It is very convenient to walk a few steps from the parking lot to the lake. 2 Little Glacial Lake Fjallsarlon: relatively small, with fewer tourists. It's close to the glacier, but it's a short walk from the parking lot to the lake. 3 Super niche glacial lake Heinabergslon: very niche, with almost no tourists, can row deep into the ice lake to explore. Boating equipment: see the picture Backpacker: #MRS Surveyor Explorer Single Including boat, chair, backrest, tail fin, inflatable bag, strapping belt, a total of 2380g The reason why I chose it is that it is light in weight, small in storage capacity, and good-looking in white. I don't play with white water, but only in still water. Oar: MRS removable carbon paddle 1020g can be disassembled into four sections, which is convenient to put in a suitcase or backpack. Life jacket: Packa self-inflated life jacket 690g must be brought, wear it when rowing! vas cen. Mho toot peaal Intiatade Aque for all re gienisnment and gumpine

#OverseasTravelRecord I went to Iceland🇮🇸. The beautiful scenery I saw there! Diamond Beach and the glacier lake are especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. The images were taken directly without any filters or adjustments!! The sunlight refracts when it hits the ice, shining golden. Blue ice reflected on the rippling lake surface Basking seal Pink sunset on ice beach 📍Diamond Beach, 781, Iceland Everything is vibrant and beautiful, so I recommend it!

Iceland's Diamond Beach is a famous attraction on the south coast of Iceland. Located opposite Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. It is approximately 377 kilometers from Reykjavik and admission is free. This time I came here as part of a local one-day tour. The broken ice in the glacial lagoon is washed ashore, forming a strong contrast with the black sand on the beach. The different shapes of ice cubes stranded on the black sand look like shining diamonds from any angle. They are very shocking when viewed from a distance. The dream index cannot be described with simple adjectives. You can touch the ice here at any time and experience the real natural ice without any additives. Be careful to wear gloves! ! ! Iceland’s Diamond Ice Beach is definitely a place you can’t miss.

This Diamond Beach is very famous. There are countless diamonds 🩵 Right next to the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon As glaciers drift into the Atlantic Ocean with lake water The ice was broken by the sea and then pushed onto the beach So it looks like a crystal clear diamond💎 The entire Diamond Beach is filled with crystal clear ice At sunrise or sunset, Diamond Beach will present unique colors, very dreamy! You should check the weather conditions before going there, because the beach is prone to strong winds and heavy rains. To avoid accidents caused by tidal impacts😳 📍Diamond Beach, Iceland #GlobalTravel
