An icy monster in the Jökulsárlón, Iceland

The row of linked icebergs looks a bit like a pre-historic monster. Has Nessie got competition? Perhaps temporary, but this ice-monster doesn´t last very long...The lagoon by the name of the Jökulsárlón, situated south of the biggest glacier in Europe, the Vatnajökull, is anyway one of the biggest tourist attractions of Iceland. Hopefully the global warming of the earth slows a little bit down, the size of the Vatnajökull shrinks every year, the lake gets bigger and bigger. The lake has now become the deepest lake in Iceland being 284 metres deep.
