Hi Nick

Thank you so much. These are old DUKW s that are taking folks out to see the icebergs. Obviously the lifejackets are coloured to stand out!!

They are not old DUKW;s Peter ~ I used to be a DUKW driver/skipper, might be a LARK which was a larger American amphibious vehicle ~ Still a great scene

Hi Steve,

Thank you so much. It is quite an experience to go over to the icebergs, break off a piece, and drink the 2000 year old water!

It looks so calm here, Peter. Less windy than it is in Shropshire. The red, both real and reflected, is perfect in grey/blue surrounding.

Hi Amelia

Thank you so much. I am honoured by your praise! The ice takes the blue colour due to its glacial origins, and yes, as I remember it was a calm day!!

Hi Sarah

Thank you so much. I am really happy that you have enjoyed it. It was certainly cold there, but perhaps not as cold as you might imagine. I did see a few seals coming in from the sea, so it can't have been that bad!!

Hi Rosa

Thank you so much. I really do appreciate your visits, and I am so pleased that you have enjoyed it. Certainly Iceland is well worth visiting, especially in summer when it doesn't get dark at night.. There are so many natural phenomenon to enjoy..

Hi Andy

Thank you so much for your visit here. I am not sure why, but glacier melt water does have a certain cold look to it. I am glad that you found it!

Ah, in one of those boats we went out onto the lagoon! It's awfully touristy but you get to see the ice up close.

Hi Gudrun

Thank you so much for visiting this picture. It is nice to see we have both been to exactly the same place.
I did try some of the 1000 year old ice. It tasted just like any other ice. I guess freezing it works!!

Best Wishes, and a good week to come
