Description
Sunrise Ice - Broken ice from washed up Icebergs on Jokulsarlon black beach at sunrise with slow speed milky water Jokulsarlon South east Iceland
The icebergs that calve from the glacier edge move towards the river mouth and get entrenched at the bottom. The movement of the icebergs fluctuates with the tide currents, as well as being affected by wind. However, they start floating as icebergs when their size is small enough to drift to the sea. These icebergs are seen in two shades: milky white and bright blue, which depends on the air trapped within the ice and is an interplay of light and ice crystals. The large blocks of icebergs can be seen on the black sand beach, sometimes called "diamond beach" because of these ice chunks scattered on the sand
