Photographer’s Note
Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. Appearing first only in 1934-1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km² in 1975 to at least 18 km² today because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth of 200 m, Jökulsárlón is now probably the second deepest lake in Iceland.

It's interesting to see an Iceberg from that close.
I think the photo has two problems - first of all it's slightly under-exposed. The ice looks more gray than white. Never trust your camera auto-metering to get snow or ice properly exposed. Another problem is framing - mountains on the top-left corner are not fully visible.
