We did our best to avoid any form of Titanic experience...
And they even fished a bergy-bit from the lagoon, and we each got to handle a piece. ...now where's that Scotch...
With all that ice, the water was cold. Literally "ice-cold", actually "Iceland-cold"!

She was quite good at this, and had her own camera crew. Oh well, she must want attention, so I happily provided some at 1/400 sec each time!
We drove over the bridge, and onto the ocean side by the black sand. Here, the waves and the wind were pushing the bergy bits back onto shore!
It was a surreal experience. Ice chunks everywhere.
And in all sizes, looking like broken glass.

The black sand in the water made the waves look really unusual as they pounded the ice chunks.
