Jokulsarlon Icebergs Sunrise 2
Published July 9, 2010
Updated May 5, 2016
During my trip to Iceland, I visited the spectacular Jokulsarlon 5 different nights over 2 weeks hoping to photograph an epic midnight sunset. On the night that I finally created this image, the magic light had threatened to overwhelm the clouds for several hours. I created my nicest stranded icebergs on the beach image, Jokulsarlon Beach Sunset 2, at 12:45am. I don’t remember how I occupied my time for the next hour, but by 2:45am I was set up and ready to photograph the sunrise light when it briefly radiated underneath the heavy clouds and illuminated the mountains above the iceberg choked lagoon.
