Riding The Ice Boat

Crossing the Fjallsárlón¹ glacial lagoon towards the calving snout of Fjallsjökull glacier, the rippling ice dropping slowly to meet the water. We didn't approach much closer than this to the undulating 5 to 15 metre (15-50ft) vertical face due to the risk of collapse.

A colour photo taken from the surface of a body of turquoise-grey water. In the near distance is a rippled ice surface, cracked and crevassed. The ice is faintly turquoise, particularly in the depths. On the left is a mountain flank supporting one side of the ice. At the water's edge, the ice has an upright slab face where cracks have separated the glacier into chunks which have then fallen into the lagoon as icebergs. Several of them are floating between the viewpoint and the ice-front.
