Iceland In Winter – 3. Ice

Iceland is home to the second largest iced mass in Europe. It’ called Vatnajökull and it’s placed in the South, with its circumference tangent to the coastline. In that spot, the Vatnajökull’s outlet, called Breiðamerkurjökull, discharges the blocks of ice produced by the glacier into the Jökulsárlón lagoon from where they float free toward the Ocean.

The iced blocks just seat on the sand until the next flood period washes them offshore. D810 20 mm (20.0 mm ƒ/1.8) 1/100″ ƒ/13 ISO 64
L’Islanda è la sede del secondo più vasto ghiacciaio europeo. Il Vatnajökull è localizzato a Sud, dove la sua circonferenza va a lambire la costa, formando la laguna Jökulsárlón. La lingua glaciale chiamata Breiðamerkurjökull, scarica i blocchi di ghiaccio prodotti dal ghiacciaio nella laguna, da dove questi vengono espulsi nell’Oceano.
