It’s time for another post to cover more of Diamond Beach in Iceland. It’s been a while since I published on this topic (Diamond in the Rough). This is just one of those locations, where I could photograph for days and never be done! Diamond Beach is a paradise for photographers who enjoy discovering shapes in nature with a leaning towards Black&White.
Here’s the image that I decided to take a closer look at…
This chunk of glacier ice was pretty close to the waterline and likely to be picked up by the incoming tide. What caught my eye was its color. Glacier ice has an intense blue color due to its density with very few air bubbles. As a result, longer wavelengths of light are absorbed and shorter ones are reflected.
Just a chip of the old glacier, it will travel until it is dissipated into the Atlantic Ocean.
