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.
