Description
Diamond Beach is also known as Breiðamerkursandur in Icelandic. This iconic attraction takes its name from the glittering icebergs scattered across its shore like a field of diamonds. These stunning icebergs were once part of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. After breaking away, the blocks of ice floated lazily around Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon before ending up on Diamond Beach. The striking chunks of ice on Diamond Beach take on many different shapes, colours, and even sizes. Here you can admire larger-than-life blocks of ice in unique shades of azure blue or small, black chunks of ice. Many factors influence the colours the ice will take. Blue ice can signify age (older ice) and lack of air pockets. The black colouring can be volcanic dust or the sunlight reflecting the black sand from the beach.
