About "Vatnajökull glacier, the largest glacier in Iceland"
by Koen Hoekemeijer
About the artwork
The Vatnajökull glacier is the second largest ice sheet by volume in Europe after the ice sheet of Severny Island on Nova Zembla.
Vatnajökull has an area of almost 8000km2, covering 8% of Iceland's total area. The average ice thickness is 380 meters and the ice sheet contains a total of about 3000km3 of ice. That's pretty impressive if you ask me ;).
The glacier is located in the southeast of Iceland and from different points you can book tours for glacier walks but also for the famous ice caves with beautiful blue ice. The latter can often only be done from October to April because in the summer months the temperature is unfortunately too high and it is therefore not safe.
I took this picture near the so-called "Diamond Beach" or Breiðamerkursandur as it is officially called. Parts of the glacier break off and then flow into the sea where they break into smaller pieces and end up on the beach through the current and surf. I chose a black and white version to emphasize the minimalism and vast emptiness of this massive glacier.
Vatnajökull is a beautiful and impressive natural phenomenon and definitely worth a visit when in Iceland.
