Iceland – The Black Beach at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
In the evening we were drawn back to the black beach by the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. The storms of the last few days, however, had driven fewer chunks of ice from the lake into the sea, so the beach wasn’t as rich in motifs as usual.
Ice and little mishaps
A few beautiful chunks remained for us all the same. And once again it was amusing to watch how some photographers underestimated the waves: one after another was knocked over, their camera gear thoroughly rinsed in salt water.
An evening by the ice
Beautiful pictures and lots of laughter – a good evening on the beach. The chunks of ice lying here have drifted out of the Jökulsárlón through its short outlet into the sea – which is why the beach is also called Diamond Beach.
Evening at Diamond Beach: two chunks of ice in the surf – the storms had brought less ice.An elongated, twisted chunk of ice in the receding water on the wet sand.A small piece of ice in front of the breaking wave, dark clouds hanging above.A small piece of ice in a ring of foam, the grey sky filling the upper part.White water circles a dark chunk of ice on the black sand.A dark chunk on the left, a clear one with a point on the right, both in the surf.An angular chunk of ice, almost upright, with foam gathering at its foot.A low, rough chunk of ice at the Jökulsárlón, the water passing in white streaks.A flat chunk of ice in the foam, clear on the left and already milky on the right.Small clear ice on a wide stretch of black sand, a band of white surf above it.A tiny piece of ice on the black beach, sky and surf filling the rest of the frame.A smooth, clear chunk on black sand, the sky above it an even grey.A bright, crystalline piece of ice on black sand, the waves running in the background.A row of ice chunks lies along the waterline of Diamond Beach.Three chunks of ice on the black sand, the surf behind them in blue light.Two chunks of ice in the flowing water, the waves lying over them as pale streaks.A jagged chunk of ice on near-black sand, its edges irregular and clear.
