At Fellsfjara, the black sand beach between Jökulsárlón and the sea, icebergs that have been swept out from the glacial lagoon by the tide are thrown back onto the beach by the wave action.
The contrast between the volcanic sand and the chunks of glacial ice is striking, and it deserves its name of "Diamond beach."
The transparent turquoise ceiling of a guide-led trip into a meltwater cave in the glaciers flank. These features are unsafe, and should never be entered alone. Unfortunately, we were there at the same time as three parties of other tourists, queued up outside and waiting for their turn. But they did provide scale to my shot!
November, Esjufjallajökull in Hornafjörður, south-eastern #Iceland.
This beautiful canyon was created by erosion from glacial meltwater cutting through the palagonite over millennia. It has carved strange, twisted pillars of rock standing on either flank of the river. A well-laid walking trail climbs the eastern side for about a mile, ans contains many observation platforms.
