In a Silent Way

This was taken shortly before sunset at the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in Iceland. It’s a close-up of a small iceberg floating just offshore which was created by the melting glaciers in the distance. The blues are created by snow falling on the ice and getting compressed. Air gets expelled and the existing ice crystals expand to create the deep colour. The black tones are a result of fall out from volcanic eruptions. It was an incredibly peaceful scene with barely a sound (P8230830)
