Jökulsárlón Glacier - a photo on Flickriver

From 17th of August until the 31st I traveled through Iceland, mainly the classic tour taking the 1, and here and there doing alternative stretches, but I didn't go inland, because of lack of time. (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155536506856759&set...).

Two weeks is clearly not enough to see this fantastic country with all its dynamic landscapes thanks mainly through its active vulcanism that can be seen everywhere. Active volcanoes, boiling landscapes, huge lava fields (old en new), moving tectonic plates etc.
And although the weather was very poor (the Icelandic people said it was the worst summer they could remember), there was so much to see (and to photograph) that I drove almost 5000 km's and took ca 2700 pictures (thank god the sun wasn't shining all day because I could easily have taken 6000 shots then).

Most of my pictures will not be very surprising because you can see them everywhere on Flickr, and maybe one day all will go back to do another less obvious tour there. It is worthwhile for sure.

The shot here is the Jökulsárlón Glacier that is part of the Vatnajökull National Park. An incredible big mass of snow and ice. Unfortunately the weather was very dark and regrettably we had to move on next day. It took me a while to figure out how to portrait this big lagoon with all the icebergs, because I wasn't happy with the result of my wide angle lenses. the images are rather empty.
This time my 100 mm tele/macro lens gave me the result that I wanted, and this is one of the finest, that shows all. The icebergs in the lagoon, the colors, and the underlying massif.

I will do some cherry picking from my shots in a random way, because there is just too much to show. This one was taken on the 10th day of the trip.
