  • Several arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) rest on icebergs floating in Iceland's Glacial Lagoon. Each year, it migrates farther than any other animal, summering in both the Arctic and in Antarctica.

  • Numerous icebergs float in Jökulsárlón, the Glacier Lagoon, in southeastern Iceland. Big chunks of ice break off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float in the lagoon until they melt or are carried by changing tides out to the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Blue-green water flows in channels carved into volcanic rock just outside the Blue Lagoon (Bláa lónið) in Iceland. The warm water is rich in silica, sulfur and other minerals, giving the water its color and milky texture. The water is heated by geothermal process and used to produce electricity before it is used in the Blue Lagoon, a popular outdoor spa.

  • A thick layer of minerals, especially silica, lines the edge of the Blue Lagoon (Bláa lónið), a geothermal spa in Iceland. The warm water is rich in silica, sulfur and other minerals, giving the water its color and milky texture. The water is heated by geothermal process and used to produce electricity before it is used in the Blue Lagoon, a popular outdoor spa.

  • The milky blue water of Iceland's Blue Lagoon (Bláa lónið) somewhat mimicks the color of the summer sky. Portions of the Blue Lagoon are heated with natural, geothermal energy. The mineral-rich hot pools are a popular tourist destination.

  • A gull flies over an iceberg of blue ice in the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón in southern Iceland. The glacial lake is full of icebergs that have fallen from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.

  • A harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) swims among the towering icebergs in the glacial lagoon, Jökulsárlón, Iceland. The icebergs floating in the lake calved off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier with some of the ice being more than 1,000 years old. Jökulsárlón covers an area of about 18 square kilometers (6.9 square miles) and ranks as the deepest lake in Iceland.

  • A glassy iceberg comprised of ice believed to be more than 1,500 years old floats in Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon in southern Iceland. The oldest ice in the lagoon is almost like glass. Over time, the weight of ice and snow on top of it presses out any air. Without the obstruction of air pockets, blue wavelengths of light are able to penetrate deep into the iceberg, resulting in the blue color.

  • Large icebergs float in the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón in southern Iceland. The glacial lake is full of icebergs that have fallen from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.

  • A crack is visible in a large, blue iceberg in glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón in southern Iceland. The glacial lake is full of icebergs that have fallen from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.

  • Large pipes transport nearly boiling water away from the Svartsengi Power Plant in southwest Iceland. It is one of five major plants in Iceland that convert geothermal energy from volcanic sources to hot water or electricity. This plant produces 76.5 MW of electricity, and about 475 litres/second of 90 °C hot water. Excess hot water is used in the Blue Lagoon (Bláa Lónið).

  • Rock debris is visible on the face of a large iceberg that is floating in the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón in southern Iceland. The glacial lake is full of icebergs that have fallen from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.

  • The Milky Way shines over the icebergs floating in Jökulsárlón, the glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland. The icebergs floating in the lake calved off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier with some of the ice being more than 1,000 years old. Jökulsárlón covers an area of about 18 square kilometers (6.9 square miles) and ranks as the deepest lake in Iceland.

  • An arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) rests on an iceberg floating in Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon in Iceland. Arctic Terns have the longest migration of any animal, flying an average of 44,300 miles (70,900 kilometers) each year. They summer in each hemisphere, breeding in the northern polar region during its summer and then flies to the edge of the Antarctic ice for the southern hemisphere summer.

  • The range of green and brown colors in palm fronds are visible in this tight cluster of trees near the Malibu Lagoon in Malibu, California.

  • A window melts through a huge iceberg in Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon located in southern Iceland. Some of the ice in the lagoon is 1,500 years old. Over time, air has been pressed out of the ice, resulting in the blue color. Without air to reflect it, blue light is able to penetrate deep into the ice.

  • A juvenile glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus) rests on an iceberg in Jökulsárlón, Iceland's Glacier Lagoon. The glaucous gull is one of the largest gulls with a typical wingspan of 60 inches (1.5 meters).

  • A harbor or harbour seal (Phoca vitulina), also known as a common seal, swims between icebergs in Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon in Iceland. The harbor seal is Iceland's second-smallest seal, and one of only two types that pup there.

  • Eight common gulls (Larus canus canus) rest on top of a giant iceberg in Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon in Iceland.

  • An iceberg carries a rock though Jökulsárlón, Iceland's glacial lagoon. Glaciers have been known to carry rocks great distances. Rocks fall onto glaciers, which move slowly down mountains. When the glacier melts so much that it can no longer support the rock, the rock is dropped and it becomes known as a glacial erratic. The term referrs to rocks that are different in size, shape or composition from other rocks around them.

  • An arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) flies with a capelan it caught in Jökulsárlón, Iceland (Glacier Lagoon). Arctic terns nest throughout Iceland during the summer. The bird migrates farther than any other. The arctic tern is found off South Africa and in the Antarctic Ocean during summer in the southern hemisphere.

  • Pacific staghorn sculpin (Leptocottus armatus) fry swim in a tight cluster called a school in Puget Sound near the Edmonds, Washington, shoreline. Pacific staghorn sculpin are found in shallow coastal waters along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Baja California, and are especially common in estuaries and coastal lagoons.

  • A school of Pacific staghorn sculpin (Leptocottus armatus) fry swim in tight circles in Puget Sound close to the Edmonds, Washington, waterfront. Pacific staghorn sculpin are found in shallow coastal waters along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Baja California, and are especially common in estuaries and coastal lagoons.
