Photo of the Day

Black and Blue

The first light of sunrise glints on a glassy chunk of ice, which has come to rest on a beach in Iceland. The dense, black beach sand is made of basalt, a rock found in regions of volcanic activity. The chunks of ice are likely fragments of a nearby glacier. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
