I'm curious what the black streak streak on the blue iceberg is. Any idea?

Thanks

Typically its volcanic ash or sand.

I was just there in October. It's likely dirt. We hiked up and into the glacier and the top of it is incredibly dirty. Just earth debris, sand, etc. Much of the sand in Iceland is volcanic, black.

Yea when I think about it there are no trees there hah

Iceland is EarthPorn's world capital

volcanic ash. If you imagine back when it was freezing there would still be debri flying around and getting stuck within the ice.

Absolutely stunning!!

Wow

Absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰

It's a frozen alien body. I assure you nothing could possibly go wrong now that we've thawed it out and performed an autopsy.

Hey why is the dog acting so...weird?

What's that black stuff on the ice

Awesome shot! When I was there last the water was like chocolate milk.

Glaciers pick up dirt and rocks as they move over the ground.

I drove to a spot like this. Jökulsárlón?

Fuck that plane hahaha. If anyone else reads this who is going to Iceland, NOT WORTH DO NOT GO. The lagoon for me was cool, there were some seals (?) playing around in it. The attached Diamond Beach was cool too!

I cant believe that airplane is an attraction. I didnt even took the bus that drops you off. I walked both way and it was a long and boring walk. 0/10. Do not recommend at all.

Yep I walked because "it's just on the beach how far can it be??"

Jesus. Christ. And then you get there, and there's just people all over it and it's graffiti'd like crazy. Disappointed to say the least.

That's the one

Careful: make sure r/n.e.s.t.l.e. does not see this.

Oh yes, and r/fucknestle

Gorgeous photo

I think people thought you were saying Iceland is overrated. Since you replied to a comment about Iceland in general.

Though reading your full post I understood what you meant.

I liked the beach the plane was on just for how remote it was, got some of my favorite pictures. But there's probably a lot of beaches like that that are more accessible.

I see you’ve located Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.

Wouldn’t this violate the subreddit rules? Or, are alien structures not a violation? 😁

This is breathtaking

My guide told me ash. But apparently the dirt is so ashy there’s really no difference.

Ashes, not dirt

I am a bit of a water connoisseur, Iceland was my happy place. Because of the lack of animals it’s generally safe to just dip your cup right in. I was apprehensive but it was so tasty & I did not get sick

Been to Iceland and I recommend everyone if you can afford, then make a trip to Iceland. It feels like a different planet all together...

Not sure what that black thing is that's entombed in the ice, but if B-grade pop culture has taught me anything, it's DO NOT THAW!!

Post in r/itookapicture

Beautiful!

That makes sense. Thanks

That sounds awesome!
