Melting Ice
by Orvaratli
Another classic photo locaton in Iceland. The beach below the popular and beautiful Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is strewn with small icebergs that float from the lagoon down the short Jökulsá á Breiðarmerkursandi. Although the river is quite powerful it does only bring small icebergs into the ocean. The contrast between the pitch black lava sand and the bright and blueish icebergs is very photogenic and fun to play with.

The ‘tracks’ give the impression that the ice is still moving!
