16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Glaciers and icebergs floating in Iceland's Glacier Lagoon.

Clear day in southern Iceland at the Glacier Lagoon. The photograph shows a beautiful black volcanic rock beach and the effects of global warming. Here, chunks of ice break off of a glacier and float out into the ocean. Though beautiful, it is a sad reminder that our planet is forever changing due to humans and their impact.
