They Almost Look Like Uncut Diamonds,

on a background of velvet,


but they are blocks of ice on the black sands of Breiðamerkursandur in Iceland, Diamond Beach as it is sometimes known is located by the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, which is filled with huge pieces of ice that constantly break off from Breiðamerkurjökull, an outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, the largest icecap in Europe, bits and pieces of these chunks of ice end up on the black sand and create a stunning visual effect,

it is located on the South Coast of Iceland, it is about six hours away from the country’s capital, Reykjavik. Although it’s not part of the popular Golden Circle Tour, Diamond Beach has become one of the country’s top tourist attractions in recent years,

the size of these “diamonds” can range from palm-size to larger than an average person, as can the colour, which ranges from deep blue to bright white, in recent years, its famous nickname has made Breiðamerkursandur a very popular place for marriage proposals, as well as a hotspot for Instagram influencers looking to impress their followers, if you plan on visiting Diamond Beach during the winter, it’s recommended to spend 2-3 days on the country’s south coast, as the daylight is limited, and the ice ever changing, for something totally different what a great place to visit.
