Glacier lagoon

Jumbled up bit of ice released into the Jökulsárlón seaside lagoon, from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. As the glacier began to retreat in the mid-1930s it left a deep lagoon that fills with icebergs that get dumped into the nearby sea at Diamond Beach.

  • Photographing in high winds at Diamond Beach off Jökulsárlón lagoon resulted in this dramatic scene with the large rolling waves and spin drift and the floating bits of blue ice. Many seabirds were screeching over the waves and ice including Icelandic gulls (Larus glaucoides), and a Lesser black-backed gull (Larus fuscus, centre of image).
