Since then, the size of the lake, the ice that reflects the color of the sky, increased several times, so today Yokulsarlon distanced himself from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and a half kilometers and it seems to stop there is not going to.
In winter you can watch as tridtsatimetrovoy blocks of ice, resembling rocks covered with volcanic ash, slowly drifting across the lake, but with the onset of summer, when the lake is free of ice, glaciers opens the way to the sea.
Especially beautiful lake at sunset and early morning when the first rays of the rising sun makes him ice shine in the colors of the rainbow.
