Jökulsárlón, Iceland (June 2017)

This image was taken during a trip organised by Natures Images and led by Danny Green and Paul Hobson. Jökulsárlón is a glacial lagoon containing icebergs calved from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. Many of the icebergs are blue; one of these was used as a background for this shot of an adult Sabine's Gull.

Gordon Rae, Garth Peacock, Liz Cutting, Helen Jackson-Garside and Carol Minks were among the eight photographers on the trip. Check out their websites for more images from the Iceland tour.
