Description

Visiting the ‘Diamond Beach’ along the South Coast of Iceland is surely a highlight for photographers! Here, icebergs which break off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier into the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, float down a short river and out to sea, and are then pummeled by the waves and washed back up onto the black sand beach. It’s the perfect place for some long exposure photography. But just when you think you have the perfect set of ice chunks for a good photo, a big wave comes along and moves them all around. As a result, the lagoon and beach don’t look the same from day to day, and indeed even from minute to minute! And if you are there long enough and/or are far enough into the water, you are bound to get hit by some of the chunks as the waves carry them toward shore. Just be ready to stand your ground and hold your camera and tripod up out of the splash zone! The ice chunks take on many forms and colors, ranging from transparent, to white, to the most amazing blue, and even to black. They stand in stark contrast to the black sand of the beach.
