Background information about Ice on fire
About the Photoshoot
Diamond Beach in southeast Iceland is a magical place where icebergs from the nearby Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon wash ashore and create stunning visuals against the black volcanic sands. One early winter morning, I set out to capture this ethereal landscape at sunrise. The gentle rolling waves were illuminated by the warm rays of the rising sun, creating a stark yet beautiful contrast with the icebergs that dotted the shoreline.
To accentuate the fairy-tale quality of the scene, I used a long exposure technique. This allowed the movement of the waves to blur into a soft mist, giving the impression of a dreamlike world where the icebergs, sparkling like jewels, appeared to be floating on a sea of light. The clouds added depth to the picture, framing the top part nicely and drawing the viewer’s attention to the interplay of ice and sunlight below.
As I stood on the beach, I was captivated by how the sunlit icebergs resembled scattered diamonds, each one reflecting the hues of the dawn. The entire scene was imbued with a sense of tranquility and wonder, a perfect example of nature’s artistry. I could have stood there for hours, lost in the beauty, if not for the gentle reminder of the cold water creeping into my boots.
About the Diamond Beach
Diamond Beach, located on the southeast coast of Iceland, is renowned for its striking beauty. The icebergs that wash up on its shores come from the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, carried out to sea and then back onto the black sands by the tides. This unique location offers photographers a constantly changing landscape of ice sculptures, each one unique and fleeting.
The interplay between the dark sands, the crystalline ice, and the dynamic ocean waves makes Diamond Beach a favorite spot for landscape photographers. The beach is especially magical at sunrise, when the low-angle light bathes the icebergs in warm hues, creating a mesmerizing scene that feels both otherworldly and serene.
