color. the sand in the B&W came out to dark. It shows better in the color photo.

I really like both and am having a hard time choosing. I'll go with color and add that the "blue" is actually how it looks. And more so on cloudy days.
I agree. This is one of the most "unexpected" places that I have ever visited. Light is different because of the high latitude, and the old glacial ice has a blue tint. It is especially fascinating to occasionally look down from the deck of the ship where the fresh water meets up with the salt water. It doesn't mix immediately, resulting in some very interesting swirl patterns.

Color-the turquoise water is eye-catching. You could use Photoshop layers to make all but the turquoise B&W.

That really is the color of the blue. It depended on the density of the iceberg as to what color of blue it was. Some were almost
clear, usually the smallest ones, some black with the black sand in them and others with varying degrees of blue.

This is a black sand beach, and when the sand was wet, it was very, very black!

I've never understood that either/or mentality. Why not do both? I frequently offer my images in both BW and colour, and hand-colour some of the ones I shot in BW.

Wow- Fantastic capture!
I also agree with offering it both ways, because the photo works really well either way.
If I had to pick it would be color by a hair because that blue is really special.
Beautiful photograph, congratulations.

In the B&W, I'm looking at waves crashing off rocks. In the color, it clearly blue icebergs. Depends on why you took the picture. If it was to show the power of the waves, the white foam created by said waves against the black sand, by all means -- B&W. If, however, its the uniqueness of the blue ice, then it needs the color. As commented previously, did you try to tone back the blue just a bit?
