Diamond Beach

sunrise on diamond beach in iceland viaggio fotografico islanda

Es la segunda vez que visito esta playa, la primera habia muchos hielos y costaba componer y esta vez habia tan poco que casi nos pegamos por ellos los cuatro españoles que estabamos alli.

Jökulsárlón ends at the Diamond Beach. It is a beautiful black sand beach where you can see ice-cubes and crystals that are washed up from the sea, which is actually very beautiful especially at dawn, sunrise or sunset because then light illuminates the icebergs.

Sometimes it's worth to experience very cold and to get soaked the boots for getting scenes like this.

black sand and big iceberg viaggio fotografico islanda

Another shot of the beach of Jokulsarlon just after sunset. This beach is famous by the ice blocks that come from the glacier and rely on the sand for days.

The other side : the diamonds beach

We waited for several hours, hoping to have eye-catching sunset. But clouds blocked most of our hope and gave us some mercy at the end. This is mother nature!

Jokulsarlon, Iceland

The beach of Jokulsarlon in Iceland is really unique. I´ve been to many glaciers worldwide, in Patagonia, Alaska, New Zealand but I´ve never seen something like what we can see here in the beach of Jokulsarlon were the ice blocks broken from the glacier navigate to the open sea and are finally deposited by the waves on the sand of the beach were rest for hours or days until finally dissolve.

The colors of the ice, sometimes blue such as this one, and the magic forms that appear with the interaction with the waves makes it easy to spend hours here taking photos or even just seen the blocks and listening to the waves.
