Description
This is one of my favorite photos from my journey across Iceland. It captures how sunset glows on a giant glacial iceberg afloat in the Jokulsarlon Lake, also known as the Glacier Lagoon, as one of many kayakers here enjoys the cool waves. More meaningfully, at least to me, was the ominous feeling of this immense mass of ice calved from Europe's largest glacier: Vatnajökull, which plays a huge role in stabilizing climate in the North Atlantic. So, as beautiful and magical as this location appears, the thousands-year-old ice visibly evaporating in the sun shown here, is also a plea for immediate action on climate change.

Dee Potter replied:
Thanks so much, Dianne!! I'm truly honoured for this support and recognition. And I hope it doesn't make you (or anyone here) feel any less of my photos, but I'm a guy and my wife has insisted that I should now change my profile pic to make sure no one else is mistaken this way. So, my apologies to anyone who's been confused on the point.
