Red Hot Ice - Jökulsárlón (Glacier Lagoon), Iceland
Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. Appearing first only in 1934-1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km² in 1975 to at least 18 km² today because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth of 200 m, Jökulsárlón is now probably the second deepest lake in Iceland.
Somehow my best shots from my Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon trips are the ones from the beach below the lagoon itself. It is because every time I am there except for once, the sky hasn´t been very interesting and the ice bergs stranded on the black lava sand beach are very interesting when the sky offers little.
