Iceland is a land of fire and ice on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that offers barren landscapes of raw beauty, enlivened in summer by all the birds that come to breed. In the southeast of the island, the huge Vatnajökull ice cap covers almost a tenth of Iceland’s territory (8%), it is the largest in Western Europe. In the south, the glacier tongues descend to the coastline and two of them end in the glacial lakes of Fjallsárlón and Jökulsárlón. Icebergs break off from the front of the glacier and drift in the « lagoon » to a small river that carries them to the waters of the ocean. At sunset and in the endless summer twilight, these cold and flat waters, with icebergs all different in shape, size and colour floating on them, create a crystalline landscape in constant renewal; a landscape animated by a slow drift and the sudden overturning of a block of ice, creating a natural show like no other.
