Beautiful Morning at Jökulsarlón

(a) Mike got so excited that he ran towards the icebergs, tripped on the rocks and got a concussion or (b) He was trying to get an artistic picture from water level.

(We had a clear, sunny day for my second visit to the glacial lagoon, completely different than the first time I visited.)

(Some of the unique ice formations of Jökulsarlón.)

(Appealing cloud action.)

(Due to high winds the past few days, many of the icebergs had been blown to one side of the lake, further delaying their escape into the ocean.)

(An aerial view from one of the adjacent rocky hills. If you look closely, you can see Mike walking along the shore in a blue jacket in the lower right of the picture.)

(One final view of this wonderful place - another of my favorite spots in Iceland. Apparently during the winter they do a spectacular fireworks show over the lagoon.)
