This drone shot in Iceland captures the unique landscape of a glacial lagoon, where melting icebergs drift through water saturated with mineral deposits. The rusty brown colour of the water comes from clay and dust carried by the melting glacier, creating an intriguing backdrop for the blue-and-white ice formations, crisscrossed with black veins of volcanic ash.
From a bird’s eye view, the scene takes on an almost abstract quality, as if nature itself were painting on a large canvas. This shot captures the stark beauty of Icelandic nature and the power of contrasts that so often define the island’s landscape.
