Iceland #4 glaciers and icebergs
Jan 28, 2019 11:04:56 #
We visited a number of glaciers while in Iceland. It was sad to see how much they had melted since the 3 years since I had been there before. At this glacier, the pieces that break off end up in a lagoon, then float through a channel, and end up in the ocean. The waves from the ocean then push the pieces of ice back up onto the black sand beach. Sometimes the area is called diamond beach, because the ice looks like huge diamonds against the black sand.
blue hour at the glacier lagoon
it had been raining off and on while we were at the beach, then right as we decided to leave a bit of a rainbow showed up!
I had just switched my shutter from fast to slow when this wave happened!

it is the Jokulsaron Lagoon---I think the beach might have the same name. The beach is right across the road from the lagoon and it is in the southern part of the island
