This is a panorama of Svínafellsjökull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Europe. It covers 8% of Iceland’s landmass. The glacier continues to slope up, curving back behind the mountains. The far upper left you can see Skaftafellsjökull in the distance. The black portions of the glacier are from volcanic ash. I love the contrast with the white, the green and the ash and even the waterfall on the right.
The blue is brilliant. I watched in amazement as one of these bergs the size of a house crumbled and the remaining part flipped over completely. Nature at work. These are icebergs floating in Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Iceland. It's extremely difficult to convey the beauty here. The white slopes in the distance is actually the glacier. The ice brakes off and floats out in the lagoon.
A couple stroll in front of Skaftafellsjökull Glacier in Iceland. As you can see, they’re at the leading edge of the glacier which extends back up into the clouds.
