Magic Crystals of Diamond Beach (9 photos)

Of course, we are not talking about real diamonds. But beauty is brilliant splendor, combining the brightness of the sun's rays and all shades of cold, from delicate azure to intense turquoise, not inferior to natural stone.





The amazing Diamond Beach, the appearance of which changes a little if not every day, located in Iceland near the glacier Breidamerkurjokull and the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon.



The glacier gradually thawed, and breaking away from the massif fragments of various shapes and sizes floated to the surface, then moved towards the lagoon and hit the beach.





And froze in anticipation of their fate. Ice blocks can melt, break or fall back into the sea.



But the ice itself is not very interesting. tourists from different countries on the Diamond Beach attracts precisely an amazing combination - sparkling transparency of "diamonds", the cold blue of the sea and strict edging of black volcanic sand.



Ice floes on Diamond Beach can be observed regardless of season. They don't melt even in summer. True, "diamonds" can decrease in size, melt, but in sunlight they acquire a special radiance and full of colors.



In winter, a drama ball rules on Diamond Beach - laconic, but in at the same time, deep colors create a sense of implacable solemnity elements.



The beach is located at a distance of 377 kilometers from the capital. From Reykjavik to go here for about 5-6 hours, but the time spent costs. It is clear that, due to climatic features, sunbathing on this the beach will not come out. But to get unforgettable impressions and pictures is very even.



Lumps of various sizes and shapes, ranging from tiny to ending with gigantic, scattered in a chaotic manner, as if it made some angry and very strong magician.



Against the background of this landscape, people can feel different emotions: and the insignificance of man against the background of the power of nature, and the quiet joy of her greatness, and just the pleasure of contemplating one of the many miraculous wonders of this world.
