Glaciers


Along the south coast of Iceland lies Vatnajökull, Europe's largest icecap. Dozens of glaciers slide from the icecap towards the ocean. We stopped at two distinct glaciers. The first was near Skaftafell. Game of Thrones watchers will know it as "beyond the Wall." The second stop was Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon where the ice cap breaks off and slides out to sea as icebergs.

Beyond the Wall


Jökulsárlón






on the left, beyond the bridge, is the ocean







the day was bright and sunny and the icebergs moved so fast you could see them sliding to the ocean.
