Diamond Beach & the Ice Lagoon

Where the Vatnajökul glacier (largest in Europe) runoff smashes into the North Atlantic some beautiful and dramatic stuff happens!

Sometimes, little bitty icebergs that are thousands of years old make it outside the jetties only to be washed ashore on the black sand of aptly named Diamond Beach

Just wish the microphone could have caught the impact and smashing grinding noises as this berg that was probably 60’-70’ long was pushed upriver by the incoming tide and driven against the other bergs accumulated.

Can only imagine the scene on a falling tide!



Seals take advantage of the current for easy supper
