Iceberg filled lake Jokulsarlon, Skaftafell National Park, Southeast Iceland, Iceland
Jokulsarlon is a large glacial lake in southeast Iceland, on the edge of Vatnajokull National Park. Situated at the head of the Breithamerkurjokull glacier, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the glaciers. It is now 1.5 kilometers away from the oceans edge and covers an area of about 18 km2. It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 248 meters, as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. It is considered as one of the natural wonders of Iceland. The tongue of the Breithamerkurjokull glacier is a major attraction for tourists

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the iceberg-filled lake Jokulsarlon in Skaftafell National Park, Southeast Iceland. Nestled on the edge of Vatnajokull National Park, this glacial lake originated as the Breithamerkurjokull glacier receded from the Atlantic Ocean's edge. Over time, melting glaciers have caused its size to fluctuate, and it now sits 1.5 kilometers away from the ocean's reach, covering an impressive area of about 18 km2. Recently crowned as Iceland's deepest lake at over 248 meters due to glacial retreat expanding its boundaries, Jokulsarlon has become a true natural wonder of this enchanting country. The photograph showcases a serene landscape devoid of human presence but brimming with frozen splendor. The focal point is undoubtedly the tongue of the Breithamerkurjokull glacier that extends into Jokulsarlon—a sight that attracts countless tourists yearning for an up-close encounter with nature's magnificence. Against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains and icy terrain, these majestic icebergs float gracefully in crystal-clear waters. Danita Delimont skillfully captured this scene during daylight hours when sunlight dances upon glistening surfaces—enhancing every shade and hue present in this winter wonderland. This horizontal composition invites viewers to immerse themselves in Iceland's raw beauty while contemplating our planet's delicate balance between ice and water.
