Ice Beach

Ice chunks from Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon drift slowly to the sea. Wind and tide wash some up on the black sand beach. They make irresistible photo subjects, especially with surf washing around them.

Conditions change daily. Unfortunately the only large ice chunks were well above the waves and too heavy to carry (that's what Jim and Snake said anyway!), so we had to make do with relatively small ones. Woe unto anyone who puts footprints near them!

Calved ice drifts from the lagoon, under the ring road and eventually to the sea. Once it floats in the Atlantic it's a true iceberg.
