On Iceland’s Diamond Beach, iceberg fragments lie scattered across the volcanic black sand. Calved from the Vatnajökull glacier, they journey through Jökulsárlón lagoon before the sea delivers them ashore. Their fleeting presence is a crystalline reminder of the Arctic's accelerated melt—each glimmering shard a fragile echo of a vanishing world.
