Freezing Jokulsarlon lake (Iceland) - a photo on Flickriver

            People sometimes underestimate Icelandic nature and find themselves in dangerous situations, often needing the aid of some of Iceland's search and rescue teams.

So don't be tempted to do what many film characters or singers do (such as James Bond, Shah Rukh Khan or Justin Bieber) and swim in the lake or climb on top of the icebergs.

The lagoon is 200m deep, and is, in fact, Iceland's deepest lake. What you see of the huge icebergs floating in the lagoon are literally just their tips as about 90% of the ice is submerged in the water.

There are a lof of signs around the lake: If you don´t use a neoprene suit, you last only 2 minutes into the water and you become a block of ice. Rest in peace, crazy tourist!.
