Jokulsarlon is a glacial lagoon on the south coast of Iceland. It is formed by ice breaking off the Breidamerkurjokull in the Vatnajokull National Park. The ice floats out to sea through a narrow channel and is often washed back onto the black lava sand beach by tides and storms.

They are my interpretation of the wild beauty in this ever-changing landscape of rock and ice. australian photography, iceland, landscape
