The tones of your Iceland photos are so so wonderful ! I like also the slippery shapes of these rocks of glace, like frozen slides !

Very impressive and it must be very old because it's so black?

Brrr! Great lines and angles and such somber tones! Almost abstract in it's own way... The challenge is on - abstracts won the vote. Still need to pick a day...

i'm sure i'm not the first to mention that this looks like marble. i suppose some might find the dirt unfortunate, but you've made it into something remarkable.

When I first saw the image, I though part of it was under water. Even when it is not pristine, there is something so beautiful about "blue" ice. Great photograph!

never seen anything like it! although it reminds me of when they throw salt on the snow in the winter (though not as cool as this shot hahah)

Yeah, looks pretty dirty, but it's incredible how the ice is moving and scooping up dirt from beneath.

How does it get so dirty without people around? Or are there people around?
