Iceland – Black Beach by the Jökulsárlón


Glasklarer Eisbrocken im Gegenlicht am schwarzen Strand beim Jökulsárlón

After the impressive northern lights we had good weather for photography again the next day. We spent the whole day on the black beach by the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where the sea washes the chunks of ice back ashore. With the sun low in the sky there were countless beautiful motifs. Here are a few pictures from that day:
