As of today, out of season, returns ~September. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
During Iceland's autumn-winter storm season, strong Atlantic storms, storm surge, wind-driven waves, and rapid melt can cause floating icebergs in Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon to roll, collide, and wash ashore at Breiðamerkursandur (Diamond Beach).
These dynamic turnover events produce sudden, photographic displays but are hazardous and weather-dependent.
