Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of Icelandic glacial lakes, located at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. Appearing only in 1934 or 1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km² in 1975 to at least 18 km² today because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth of 200 m, Jökulsárlón is now probably the second deepest lake in Iceland.
