About Prior to 1950 the 1? km long course of the glacial river Jokulsa was uninterrupted by any lagoon. Since then the glacier tongue has retreated and a lagoon, gradually increasing in area, was created. The average flow of the river is 250-300 mg/sec. and the edge of the glacier snout floats on the water. It calves into the lagoon and icebergs of different sizes can be seen stranded and melting rather quickly. The lagoon is very deep, at least 190 m. The river gets shorter and shorter, mainly because of the constant sea erosion, which  eventually is going to destroy the bridge (built in 1967). The result will be a deep bay, which is going to grow longer the further the glacier snout retreats. The lagoon's surface has been lowered almost to sea level and sea water comes in with the tides, increasing the water temperature. Salmon, capelin and herring enter the lagoon and the harbour seals follow the food. Eider ducks are very common on the lagoon. It is an unforgettable adventure to take a boat trip between the icebergs to admire the natural ice sculptures and the blue green colour of the ice.

This is absolutely wonderful...the blue, the clear, and the frosted ice all make for lovely colors and textures. Can't say it makes me want to BE there (COLD), but it sure is gorgeous! A fantastic job!

Amazingly beautiful colors in this photo, the lighting is perfect and the icebergs are facinating in both their transparency and solidity. he one is almost more beautiful in the reflection. Alison
