Breidamerkursandur

Black sands meet glittering ice at Breidamerkursandur, or Diamond Beach where fragments of icebergs from the edge of nearby glacier, wash ashore like scattered diamonds. A fleeting moment of nature’s artistry, frozen in time.

Breiðamerkursandur is a vast glacial outwash plain in southeastern Iceland, located near Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Icebergs that have broken off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier wash up on the black volcanic sand. The area is constantly changing due to glacier movement and ocean tides, offering a dynamic and ever-evolving landscape. It is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders.
