Tourists Travel to Iceland's Glacier Lagoon to Walk on 'Diamond Beach'

The Jokulsarlon is a large glacial lake in southern Iceland. It formed after a glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The size of the lake has increased four times since the 1970s due to the melting of glaciers.
