The photographic gem of the ring road is Jokulsarlon, in southern Iceland, a lagoon filled with icebergs calved from the glacier Breidamerkurjokull (the suffix “jokull” denotes a glacier; similarly, “foss” indicates a waterfall). The lagoon is particularly photogenic around sunrise, when the water is calm and reflects its surroundings like a mirror. More interestingly though, in my view, is that the icebergs eventually float out of the lagoon, down a channel, and into the open ocean. Some of these icebergs apparently have a poor sense of direction because a collection of them can typically be found washed ashore on the nearby black sand beaches. The contrast between the glistening blue ice sculptures, the black sand, and sometimes even a colorful sunset or sunrise sets a wonderful stage for some landscape photography. As beautiful as Jokulsarlon is, one could rightfully spend at least as much or more time photographing the icebergs and iceberg fragments beached nearby.
