Beautiful black beach with lots of small pieces of ice that sparkle in the sun. Hence the name Diamond Beach.

At the foot of the gigantic Vatnajökull (8,000 km²), the Fjallsjökull glacier melts into a lagoon filled with floating icebergs, a silent and breathtaking spectacle.
Just a few minutes away, Diamond Beach amazes: the blocks of ice that travel from the lagoon to the Atlantic return to the black volcanic sand, shining like diamonds in the sun.
A perfect place for a bike ride: fresh air, picture-postcard landscapes, and photos that look like they're from another planet.

"A unique beach where glacial ice blends with black volcanic sand. It's best to come early in the morning to avoid crowds and see the ice blocks gleaming in the sun. Waterproof footwear is recommended: the shore is always wet and cold. A natural spectacle that seems from another planet."
