Following on from a earlier thread, some more shots from Jokulsarlon. In the last shot there is a person in LH bottom which you are able to gauge the size of the ice. The blue tone in the ice is due to the ice being compacted whilst in the glacier:

When you up close to that you must feel so small in the scale of things caught the colours in the glacier well. Good set :)

Thanks Jaco for your comments - very much appreciated and valued.

You are able to cruise through the ice on a DUKW but the closest they go to the ice is about 10m due to the ice under the water - remember what is above water is only about 10% of its actual size - and also because as the ice melts large chunks will break off from the upper areas and fall into the lagoon.

That must be an amazing experience to be that close all the same :)

Great set, Tom. So unusual. I really like the first one...shows the icy-layers so well.

How did i miss these - phenomenal - never seen anything quite like these before! The colour is sublime!

What causes the darker streaks as seen in 1 and 2?

Lovely set!
 
Love these shots of yours. The colour in #9 is phenominal! The cruise must be an amazing experience.

Thanks for your comments 68lbs. The 'cruise' is actually in a DUKW as below:

so its not as exotic as it sounds but you get the atmosphere of a very unreal sight.

Bit like that duckboat thing in Liverpool than? But with less chance of finding it up on bricks if left unattended. :D
