In Iceland, A Black Beach Strewn With Beautiful Turquoise Icebergs





Just when we thought that we have seen enough of Iceland’s wild, natural landscape, we chanced upon these gorgeous shots of turquoise icebergs on a black beach located in the south-east of the island.



Melting into the sea from the near-by Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, most of these icebergs that washed up onto the black sand of the beach are small.



Creating a striking contrast with the black lava sand, these jewel-like, sparkling icebergs make for great photographic fodder and have attracted many camera-toting adventurers to capture their unique beauty—the long exposure shots, with their wispy water trails, are particularly lovely.
