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 administrative office in Erlangen is a gem for lovers of modern architecture, and so I took an image that is shaped like a diamond 😊
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.
Well once again, working on location has presented me with challenges WRT subject matter and lighting. Marybeth had to come to my rescue with just about the only stone worth photographing at my son's house other than the run of the mill wall and landscaping rock/stones one would find in New Mexico. I did consider some nice river stone that almost made a solo shot. The diamond ring wound up sitting on one. As for size, ha, no worries there, it just made it under the three inches. Marybeth has really big fingers. lol.

This small bird visited my garden yesterday and I have never seen such a bird. It is here today too. For all the world it looks like a pigeon but I have never seen such a small one. It is only slightly larger than a blackbird and it was very slow in its reaction. (It nearly was supper for the neighbour's cat, Lu only for the fact I intervened). It didn't fly away only hopped to keep the narrow distance when I moved closer.

The shapeshifting of my origami tessellation 'Regular'
to the final one, called "Diamond".
I changed the color into to green, inspired by springtime ;-))
Here you can see "Diamond" more closely.

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.

"Je trouve que la beauté est un diamant qui doit être monté et enchâssé dans l'or."
"I find that beauty is a diamond which must be climb and set in the gold."
Mademoiselle de Maupin - Théophile Gautier
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.
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.
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.

Diamond Beach (Breidamerkursandur) 20210716
The Diamond Beach called Breiðamerkursandur is located between Höfn and Vík in the southeast of Iceland. Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon is filled with ice blocks from the Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier which float down the short Jökulsá á Breiðamerkursandi river and washed onto the black sand beach at the mouth of the river. This black beach is spectacular with an ever-changing collection of ice blocks.
The Ring Road 1 separates the Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean and just below the road is a black sand beach. This is formed from ash and small pebbles like many of the other black sand beaches, but this one has a large difference. It is covered in sparkling icebergs.
The icebergs from the glacial lagoon are washed down the river and out to sea where they are tumbled and smoothed by the action of the waves. Like any other iceberg, they will float, and are many are washed up onto the beach. This is a never-ending cycle of change as some are washed in on the tide while others are taken from the beach.
The lagoon is full of wildlife and even from the car parks, you will have amazing encounters. Seals fish in the river and are commonly seen in the winter months lazing on icebergs and hunting in the flowing water. In the summer months, they are less common, but there are always a few buzzing around.
The east beach is where the arctic tern colony can be found. Just sitting on the beach and watching will allow you to see their acrobatics and defense tactics against the arctic skua who are bullies and known as the ‘Pirates of the Sea’.
