Tag: Iceland

I spent yesterday afternoon and early this morning watching icebergs flow out of Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón) near Vatnajokull, Iceland. The glacier calves into a lagoon (you can hear the crack way out in the distance), and at each outgoing tide, icebergs flow out into the ocean and are pushed onto the black-sand beach by ...
