Another one from the Jökulsárlón glacier lake! Taken from a lower point of view than the one I posted before.
This was the last day we really got to see the sun in Iceland and this was the last real sunset. But a nice one at that! Then it was 10 days of (mostly) rain ;).

Perito Moreno Glacier (Patagonia) 20240207
Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most impressive natural spectacles in Patagonia. It is a large mass of ice 30 kilometers long, 5 kilometers wide and a height that reaches 60 meters. Their proportions are so great that it is necessary to see them alive to understand them.
One way to observe it is through the walkways of the Perito Moreno glacier, which line the front of the glacier and are 30 kilometers from the entrance to Los Glaciares National Park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
The walkways have three levels and add up to no less than 4 winding kilometers that take up to 300 meters in the vicinity of Perito Moreno. The route is made of stairs and balconies with wooden railings that allow you to see the glacier in the safest way from different perspectives. This trail is built with a modern system of metal truss, which allows a good flow of snow and water. The tours can be covered in several ways, as the paths are intertwined and allow you to appreciate the differences in the ice textures, the blue color and its different tones.
The Surprise Glacier is located in the Harriman Fjord of the Prince William Sound. This is just a portion of the face of this tidewater glacier.
We accessed this amazing place via a private boat trip for the attendees of my last Alaska Adventure.
Please consider joining us next year to experience the amazing Alaska.
Margerie Glacier,Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve, Alaska.
Discovered by John Muir in 1879.Sixteen tidewater glacier spill out from the mountain to the sea,it receding faster than any other glacier on earth,its ice is rapidly melting and thinning.The land itself is rising 1 1/2 inches a year as it rebounds from the weight of snow melted glaciers,due to global warming or green house effect.
🇮🇸 Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, bordering Vatnajökull National Park in southeastern Iceland. Its still, blue waters are dotted with icebergs from the surrounding Breiðamerkurjökull Glacier. The lagoon flows through a short waterway into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving chunks of ice on a black sand beach.
Hubbard Glacier is a glacier located in eastern Alaska and part of Yukon, Canada, and named after Gardiner Hubbard.
La Strada n. 1 Hringvegur, consente di fare il periplo dell'Islanda, è la strada più importante del paese e non è totalmente asfaltata. E' impossibile percorrerla senza femarsi ogni pochi chilometri per ammirare la selvaggia maestosità della natura islandese.
Qui una lingua del principale ghiacciaio del Paese, il Vatnajokull, arriva fino a valle a lambire la strada...
Un sogno nel vento!!!!!!
An inspiring sight. Nigardsbreen glacier, which is one of 50 branches of the Jostedalsbreen glacier, the largest on mainland europe covering 487 square kilometres.
"Lamplugh Glacier is an 8-mile-long (13 km) glacier located in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in the U.S. state of Alaska. It leads north to its 1961 terminus in Johns Hopkins Inlet, 1.4 miles (2.3 km) west of Ptarmigan Creek and 76 miles (122 km) northwest of Hoonah. The glacier was named by Lawrence Martin of the U.S. Geological Survey around 1912 for English geologist George William Lamplugh (1859–1926), who visited Glacier Bay in 1884." Wiki
Glaciers all over the world are melting. In Iceland. According to wired.co.uk we are losing 0.34 per cent a year. "They will be gone in 200 years if global warming continues like this." Enjoy the beauty will it lasts.
Another of the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. This time with the iPhone. It really was that blue. The overcast sky really brought out the blue hue of the icebergs and water.
We saw a seal darting in and out of the bergs and I didn't know it at the time but I had rare, multiple, sightings of a Kingfisher. When I was down on the shore it dove into the water less than 10' in front of me. Way too fast to even think of getting my camera up.
