Cracked! - Jökulsárlón, Iceland

One from the archives. This one was taken in 2009 in a intense photo-trip with Lucie Debelkova.

 

The famous glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón experienced a surge of Icebergs coming from a collapse in the Breiðarmerkujökull glacier which feeds the lagoon with Icebergs. The glacier has been more stable in the last two year although it continues to shrink. The day when the glacier recedes out of the lagoon and stops feed the lagoon with icebergs will be a day when we photographers will morn. This is such an iconic place and it can be photographed in any weather any time of year. Lets hope that day will be far in the future.

 

On the west bank of the lagoon I found the large interesting boulder which had been cracked in half by frost weathering. The boulder was quite big, about 2 m in height.
