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.

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.
Here's another capture from the eclipse during the Diamond Ring phase.

Diamonds are forever...Ian Fleming....HMM
A tiny pear drop diamond pendent and some editing :-)
A natural sculpture on a place called diamond beach in Iceland. The ice falls off the glacier into the glacier lake, a short river brings the ice into the sea and finally the waves throw the ice on diamond beach.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Working on a project for the casino to do videos of the casino and this one stands out and one the casino is showing guest of the new resort being built.
Picture was taken but DJI Inspire 2 and a X5s camera
