OTHERWORLDLY LANDSCAPE IN ICELAND
Diamond Beach in Iceland offers a beach experience unlike any other in the world. Named for its icebergs that resemble remarkable diamonds scattered across its black volcanic sand, it is located near Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Here, chunks of ice break off from the glacier, float through the lagoon, and wash up on the beach, creating a striking contrast against the dark sand. The beach's appearance changes with the light and tide, offering unique scenes that are particularly breathtaking during sunrise and sunset. This dynamic environment is a favorite for nature lovers who come to witness the icebergs' slow melt back into the ocean, as well as beach enthusiasts looking for a unique beach scene.
