Iceland Glacier
Jökulsárlón is a beautiful glacial lagoon that's growing at a disturbingly face pace. Throughout the lagoon, there are pieces of the glacier floating in all sorts of wondrous shapes and colors. While it was an incredible experience, it deeply saddens me at the same time as the glaciers are disappearing far too quickly. This was over two years ago now and at that point the lagoon had by a massive amount from the start of that year. It's a reminder to me the sense of urgency we need to have with climate change.
