In the distant background you can faintly see the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier head where icebergs break off into the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, near Diamond Beach, Iceland.

Ice Crystal on Diamond Beach

Diamond beach is located in Southeast Iceland, about 4 hours east of Reykjavik. Nearby the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier head breaks away into the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, which is full of icebergs.  The icebergs slowly melt in the lagoon as they funnel towards a large stream which carries them into the Atlantic Ocean.  Afterwards, ice crystals from the size of a car to small ones you can hold in your hand, wash back up on the black volcanic sand beach.  It’s quite spectacular!
