Sunrise at Crystal Beach

Frank and I got up early on the second day to catch the morning light at the glacial lagoon and the crystal beach next to it. It doesn't matter how many times you visit the lagoon, its always different: seemingly every hour there is a new array of ice monuments to marvel at.

Frank and I split up for the first part of the morning and then we met up later. Frank helped out with the portraits.

The light changed rapidly over the course of the hour or so I was there. There was this violent burst of morning light which then gradually dwindled as the morning went on. At least there is one photo of it!

End of day 1: Vik

To tie up day one of our road trip, we made a short stop at Vik, with its iconic sea stack. As the sun sank below the horizon at Dyrhóleay in the last, we stopped to enjoy the magic hour in Vik, embers of the golden, low sun and the rich blues from the sea and horizon. I included both sides of the cliff, for context.
