Jökulsárlón sits south of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. Huge blocks of ice calve from the glacier and those icebergs float into a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon"). From there they keep floating towards the Atlantic Ocean, where some of them get washed ashore and sparkle on the black beach like diamonds, after having been polished by the waves. Thus, the beach designation: Diamond Beach.

 

This photo was taken at sunrise, on a glorious day, with beautiful weather. When I've arrived to the beach a couple of hours before sunrise, seals were easily seen in the water, looking for their morning's meal... And when the sun rose in the sky, well, the least we can say is that it was monumental! This place is utterly beautiful and will remain always in my memories as being the most extraordinary spot I've been in a marvellous trip to Iceland.

The full view of Diamond Head taken from Round Top.

 

Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu and known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi, most likely from lae 'browridge, promontory' plus ʻahi 'tuna' because the shape of the ridgeline resembles the shape of a tuna's dorsal fin.

 

Its English name was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who mistook calcite crystals on the adjacent beach for diamonds.

This will be the day

That you will hear me say

That I will never run away

 

I am here for you

Love is meant for two

Now tell me what u're gonna do

 

If I gave you diamonds and pearls

Would you be a happy boy or a girl

If I could I would give you the world

But all I can do is just offer you my love

 

Which one of us is right

If we always fight

Why can't we just let love decide (Let love decide)

 

Am I the weaker man

Because I understand

That love must be the master plan (Love is the master plan)

 

If I gave you diamonds and pearls

Would you be a happy boy or a girl

If I could I would give you the world

But all I can do is just offer you my love

When love will blow your mind (Blow your mind)

And everything you'll look 4 you'll find (Take a look inside)

 

That will be the time (That will be the time)

That everything will shine (Forever)

So bright it makes you colorblind (You will be color blind)

 

If I gave you diamonds and pearls

Would you be a happy boy or a girl

If I could I would give you the world

All I can do is just you my love

My lake devours the ice

My diamonds are drowning

And will never come back in its form they had

There will be new ones

There will always be new ones

All will be a bit changed

But just as glorius as the old ones

In another form, of course

Even in a better shape

Glittering like never before

 

Yes, I like that idea

 

I guess I landed

Again

The last time I'd visited Diamond Beach near the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon in 2019 I came away feeling particularly despondent after failing to make the most of my visit. The weather conditions hadn't been favourable with heavy rain falling so I had retreated to the warmth of the campervan. It was only when I'd returned home that I realised how foolish I had been not making the most of that visit.

 

This time around I was determined not to make the same mistake!

 

Once you get onto the black sand and witness these large chunks of ice washing up along the shoreline you realise it's a magical place. The conditions were flat with drizzle in the air but thankfully light pockets of light were creeping through the clouds.

 

If you're lucky enough to catch the light the ice shines and diamond beach comes alive.

I saw the rising moon lighting-up the anvil canopy of a distant thunderstorm, and waited until the moon broke free. It created a nice effect.

Jökulsárlón sits south of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. Vatnajökull which, with its surrounding area, form Iceland's largest national park, and the second largest in Europe.

Huge blocks of ice calve from the glacier and those icebergs float into a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon"). From there they keep floating towards the Atlantic ocean, where some of them get washed ashore and sparkle on the black beach like diamonds, after having been polished by the waves. Thus, the beach designation: Diamond Beach.

 

This photo was taken at sunrise, on a glorious day, with beautiful weather (finally, as the two previous days had been terrible, a total loss...). When I've arrived to the beach a couple of hours before sunrise, seals were easily seen in the water, looking for their morning's meal... And when the sun rose in the sky, well, the least we can say is that it was monumental! This place is utterly beautiful and will remain always in my memories as being the most extraordinary spot I've been in that marvellous trip to Iceland.

Macro Mondays: Speckled

The Diamond Firetail Finch is a highly social bird and enjoys living in pairs or small groups. They are known for their cheerful chirping and are active and playful birds that love to explore their environment. They are also intelligent birds and when kept as pets can be trained to perform simple tricks.

Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon

Ice "diamonds" glistening on the black beach...

The Diamond beach is by Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland.

The lagoon belongs to the Vatnajökull glacier national park. The glacier's name is Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, and huge blocks of ice (more than 1000-year-old) are continually breaking from it and large chunks of iceberg float in the lagoon.

Gleich neben der berühmten Jökulsarlon-Gletscherlagune findet sich der schwarze Vulkansandstrand, wo die Eisberge aus der Lagune an Land treiben und einen magischen Ort erschaffen. Die blauen, schwarzen, weißen und durchsichtigen Eisberge liegen am Strand und schmelzen langsam. Ein faszinierender Ort....

Die Eisberge kommen direkt aus einem Gletscher, dem Breidamerkurjokull, ein Ausläufer von Europas größtem Gletscher Vatnajökull.

Der Gletschersee diente bereits als Schauplatz für bekannte Filmproduktionen wie James Bond-Stirb an einem anderen Tag, James Bond 007-Im Angesicht des Todes, Tomb Raider, Beowulf & Grendel und Batman Begins.

Jökulsárlón, Iceland

Diamond Beach by Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon in Iceland

Entry way into the Goyder Pavillion at the Wayville Showgrounds vaccination hub.

Here's the last of my bird photos from my trip to the Bloedel Conservatory in January. I'm so impressed by the beauty in nature as seen in the different colors, textures and patterns in this bird. I wish I would have captured it with just a bit more depth of field, but I'm happy enough with it to make it one of my "keepers" for the trip.
