A few at Jokulsarlon, Iceland

It's off the beaten path but definitely worth a visit.  It's a bit deceptive as the altitude is a lot higher than one would expect. 

Glad I had a "turbo" , as I first tried the Edgely and that was a bit of a struggle.

Cheers

It certainly looks volcanic and I half expected to see a steam vent or worse as I went over.

 Fine particles of pulverized rock called "glacial flour" absorb and scatter sunlight in ways
 that can give melt water a wonderful blue-green color.

The lichen is spectacular I thought.

I've never seen 3 glaciers merging IRL and I've seen a fair number  over the years.  This is pretty cool:)

Fascinating set from your personal aircraft.

I did note the color coordination between the Karitane Yellow shades of brown in the rocks & the accent browns on the sides of the aircraft.

Nice touch:)

Thanks TTM - "I think" :)

I hadn't noticed until you pointed that out.  I'm not sure you are complimenting or the opposite :huh:

But if you've had kids , you come to realize that it is a fact of life.

It's surprising though how often it occurs in nature

Cheers:)

Pete

 

PS - maybe avoiding Dunedin, NZ might be a good move as well:rolleyes::lol:
