Jökulsárlón is a glacial lagoon, bordering Vatnajökull National Park in southeastern Iceland. Its still, blue waters are dotted with icebergs from the surrounding Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier, part of larger Vatnajökull Glacier. A glacier river, Jökulsár, flows from the lagoon, through a short waterway into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving chunks of ice on a black sand beach. In winter, the fish-filled lagoon hosts hundreds of seals.

A service fee is paid for the use of parking spaces according to Vatnajökull National Park's published prices. The service fee is based on the arrival and departure of vehicles based on the analysis of the license plate numbers. The service fee is valid until midnight on the date it is paid. During that period, you can drive in and out of the area freely. The authority to charge a service fee is based on the regulation on visitor fees within Vatnajökull National Park for services provided and access to the area.

Jökulsárlón, Eystri- & Vestari-Fellsfjara are one payment zone and one payment allows for parking on all three parking lots within the day.

A 50% discount is given on the service fee if another fee-based service area of Vatnajökull National Park has been previously visited within the same date as the full fee was paid.
