Fjallsárlón is a glacier lake at the south end of the Icelandic glacier Vatnajökull. "Fjallsjökull" which is part of the bigger glacier reaches down to the water of the lake and some ice-bergs are drifting by on its surface.

It is situated not far from Skaftafell National Park and the better known glacier lake Jökulsárlón. From the glacier lake Breiðárlón a little river flows into the Fjallsárlón.

Above, there is looming the famous volcano Öræfajökull.

At its shore, in the summertime, it is better to beware of the skúas, big seagulls which have their nests on the ground around the lake.
