Diamond Beach

Breidamerkursandur, Southeast Iceland

Ice like diamonds on the black sand.
Dusk on the spit below the glacier.
A single diamond, close up.
Down on the sand among the ice.

The black sand spit just below the glacier lagoon, where stranded chunks of clear glacier ice sit on the sand and catch the light like their namesake. Cross the road from Jokulsarlon and time it for low sun. Slippery, cold, and unlike anywhere else.
