Glacial Lagoon

Monday, on the way back to Reykjavik, we were proper tourists and stopped at anything that looked interesting.
Here we are at Jökulsárlón lagoon. The Breiðamerkurjökull glacier is an arm of the larger Vatnsjökull glacier and regularly calves ice floes into the Jökulsá river.

The colours are amazing and only a small fraction can be captured in pictures.
The floes, or small glaciers tumble around in the lagoon until they are small enough to make it over the lip of the lagoon and down the river to the ocean.

Amphibious buggies take tourists out among the floes, but I was impressed enough just standing on shore.
