Gone in a Wave

At Diamond Beach, where icebergs from the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash ashore, you only have moments before the ocean takes them back. The tide pulls them away, reshaping them with every wave. Each piece of ice is a fleeting sculpture, never to be seen again in the same form. You capture it, or it’s gone forever.
