The Diamond Beach is a strip of black sand belonging to the greater Breiðamerkursandur glacial plain, located by Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon on the South Coast of Iceland.
It can be accessed from the Ring Road by those who rent a car.
At the Diamond Beach, the icebergs which fill the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon wash up on shore, creating a stark contrast with the volcanic black sand. This beautiful display makes it a favourite location for photographers and nature lovers. Wildlife enthusiasts also frequent the site as many seals call the beach home, and it is one of the best places in the country to see orcas from the shore.
Iceland Road Trip. Trip of a life time. Iceland is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Been wanting to visit and do this for many years, FINALLY here so let's go and explore.
Travel video of the main things saw and places visited. This was a 10 day road trip. Wanted to mainly do the Road 1 Ring Road route going counter clockwise. The camper van was not suitable for off road so had to stay on the main acceptable roads.
Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic Ocean and in the Arctic Ocean. Iceland is the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Iceland's capital and largest city is Reykjavík, which (along with its surrounding areas) is home to over 65% of the population. Iceland is the biggest part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that rises above sea level, and its central volcanic plateau is erupting almost constantly. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, and most of its islands have a polar climate.
