Blue ice with a spectacular shape. He looks like a captain ready to follow his sinking ship into their common watery grave. The ice on this lake, Jökulsarlon, comes from an arm of Iceland's largest glacier, Vatnajökul. The black color is caused by volcanic ashes from eruptions of one of the many volcanos under the ice; probably Gjalp or Grimsvötn, which both erupted around the turn of the century.

I was quite disappointed when I first time saw the photo on the computer, it was very different from how I remembered him. See the unedited original here. www.flickr.com/photos/ystenes/4174859678/ I was so disappointed that I did not include the photo when presenting photos of the trips to those who had joined me, and it took at least one month from uploading before I posted it.

That changed when I started to edit my photos. This edited version is much closer to what I saw, and was an immediate success on Flickr. Nevertheless, I consider redoing the editing now with more experience.

In Mars or April 2009 I discovered that this photo was on the top of the list of the most "interesting" photos made with the Nikon Coolpix 995 camera: www.flickr.com/cameras/nikon/coolpix_995/. The photo stayed on the top until November.
Then another one of my photos took over the top position:

I like this list (15th nov)

The Selfoss waterfall, approx 1 km up from Dettifoss. The water comes from Vatnajökul, the biggest glacier in Europe, and passes a landscape formed by ash-spewing volcanoes. That is why the water is sandy, it is almost black, and the constant abrasive effect the transported material causes, makes the rocks completely devoid of any vegetation.
