Gracias Josep,

La verdad es que Islandia es un lugar impresionante, todo es a lo bruto, parece como si la tierra acabara de nacer.

Un saludo

Luis

No he podido resistirme a ampliar esta fotografia, y fijarme mejor en lo que sale en primer plano, parece una aleta de orca o algo similar, y ala derecha de la aleta se ve bajo el agua algo un animal o foca o algo asi, plis confirmame si durante la foto o despues de la foto vistes algun movimiento en donde yo te digo :) es por mera curiosidad

Luis Rodríguez Baena, on February 8, 2007, said:

Hola YMB,

Lo de la orca no lo creo porque, aunque había una salida al mar un poco más lejos, los icebergs están en una especie de lago a donde llega la cabecera del glaciar. En otros puntos si que vimos orcas en la costa, cerca de la playa. No se si te refieres a eso, pero en primer plano hay un trozo de hielo que tiene forma de aleta de orca.

En el mismo lago, un poco más lejos si que había una foca solitaria, aunque no la vi en el sitio donde hice la foto. Volviendo a ver las fotos creo que si que he visto lo que podría ser algo que flota como el lomo de una foca. La verdad es que me extraña; casi todos los viajes que hago es para ver animales (sobre todo aves) y voy cargado con telescopios, prismáticos, etc. y me suelo fijar mucho en todo lo que se mueve.

Wow Nice shot! i don't know how you got it but man it looks like a storm just hit it, and the background with the clouds and the black stuff on the ice that's awesome! Again that was an amazing shot i have ever seen!

Thanks for your comments, Kristine. I browse your website... you have great shots!

Luis Rodríguez Baena, on June 15, 2007, said:

Gracias por tus comentarios José Antonio. La luz de Islandia también hace mucho por la foto.

Tus fotos también son impresionantes. Aunque la foto engaña, los icebergs de Jökulsárlón son mucho más pequeños que el que sacas de Chile.

Wonderful! Gratulation!

Luis Rodríguez Baena, on June 25, 2007, said:

Thanks Erdélyi

QR, on September 21, 2007, said:

Wow! It tells everything about human being...the acid rains, the smogs and the air pollution are in this picture! Fantastic, gratulation!

Ómar Smári Kristinsson, on November 30, 2007, said:

Well, QR, you cannot thank humans for all this - sometimes nature is capable on it´s own (a lot in this picture, but none of what you mentioned, in this case).

The one in the back kinda looks like God's thumb.

Luis Rodríguez Baena, on March 27, 2008, said:

Yes, the ice is capricious,

AndreaLopez, on March 31, 2008, said:

this is fantastic!

¿Por qué está negro el hielo?

Luis Rodríguez Baena, on April 1, 2008, said:

Thanks AndreaLopez

Luis Rodríguez Baena, on April 1, 2008, said:

Los icebergs de la foto son trozos de la lengua de un glaciar que caen a un lago. Al moverse, los glaciares arrastran las rocas y eso es lo que produce las vetas negras. En los glaciares que yo he visto, la parte baja siempre tiene hielo sucio.
