Icelandic Ice

Astonishing picture here of what looks like a massive glacial flow at the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland. Low reolution I'm afraid, but scroll around the rest of Iceland and you'll see loads more stunning natural imagery.
Thanks to Rachel and Lauri Kangas.

I love how you can see how the breakwaters affect the waves.

This is the location of the upcoming Clint Eastwood movie “Flags of our fathers” and this will be the shore of Iwo Jima.
