Feeling the Glacial Blues, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, Iceland

            Capstone trip to Iceland with my best friend after matching into UNMC residency during 4th year of medical school. It was my last chance to see more of the world before the rigors of residency and then the COVID pandemic. Jökulsárlón is a lake filled with the meltwater from Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, a tongue of Europe’s largest ice cap, Vatnajökull. The icebergs in the background appear blue to the naked eye because glacial ice is compressed and the ice crystals enlarge, allowing them to more effectively absorb the longer wavelengths of light. Smaller pieces of ice that have broken off appear perfectly clear. The beaches are covered by black sand and rocks that reflect the volcanic nature of the country. We drove the Ring road around the entire country of Iceland and this was one of our favorite stops.
