Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon taken from a boat. The sky is blue with a few white clouds, there are icebergs floating in the water and the glacier and mountains are in the distance. “The icebergs that break away from Jökulsárlón Glacier and fall into the lagoon slowly melt and drift out to sea, where the North Atlantic waves polish them before being washed ashore on the jet-black beach called Breidamerkursandur which is known as the Diamond Beach. Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon Facts: With a maximum depth of 814 feet (248 meters), Jokulsarlon is Iceland's deepest lake. Jokulsarlon's surface area measures 11.2 square miles (18 square kilometers). The icebergs in Jokulsarlon are composed of ice that is over 1,000 years old. Jokulsarlon glacier first started forming in 1934, when the Breidamerkurjokull glacier started retreating, leaving the lagoon in its path. This glacial lagoon has increased fourfold since the early 1970s. The lagoon connects with the ocean and is composed of seawater and freshwater. This is what creates the unique color. Seals can be seen in Jokulsarlon year-round, but they flock to the lagoon’s mouth to catch fish in the winter.” https://guidetoiceland.is/nature-info/jokulsarlon-glacier-lagoon-the-crown-jewel-of-iceland-s-nature

Lonely diamond at the Diamond Beach.

At our visit in March 23, the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon was completely empty. Only one left over ice sculpture on the beach.

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon “The lagoon formed naturally from melted glacial water and continues to grow as ice blocks crumble from the ever-shrinking glacier. As Jokulsarlon increases in size, the retreating glacier visibly demonstrates the effects of global warming, with noticeable receding year after year.

Riffing off of @jaycee-visionlogic.bsky.social, here is a black and white photo from Breiðamerkursandur, or "Diamond Beach" for #stunday! It's a scan from film, one of my earliest from #Iceland. Jökulsárlón is a glacial lake in the southern part of Vatnajökull National Park, great hiking and photos!

April can't come fast enough 🇮🇸💙

There’s a hollow where I used to stand,
filled with echoes of a distant land.
My soul stitched to skies I cannot touch,
a longing weight, a quiet hush.

I am here, but not complete—
my heart still beats where my feet can’t meet.
