    Would You Like Ice With That?

    Early October, and we're at Fellsfjara, also known as "Diamond Beach".

    Jökulsárlón is full of icebergs today, and the high tide has lifted some from the glacial lagoon and swept them out to sea. The waves have deposited large pieces of the ice on the black sand and the tide is now ebbing.

    Some of the beached icebergs are still saturated with water, and are a lovely turquoise colour. A helpful visitor has provided scale.

    A colour photo of a black beach, near the tide line. The sky is grey and overcast and in the background is a man-made breakwater constructed of large boulders. People can be seen standing on it and, where it extends out into the sea, lots of grounded icebergs. In the foreground on the wet black sand near the waterline are small pieces of ice and one large iceberg is standing upright. The ice is turquoise and quite transparent, the light is being distorted through its many curves and ripples. A person wearing a green coat, yellow hat, and beige trousers is standing next to it, and the iceberg is taller than the person, about 2.4 metres of ice.
