person riding on lifeboat

I found myself in Jökulsárlón by means of a crappy orange Kia and two women I met online. I was ecstatic to be there. Kayaking through the icebergs had been a dream of mine since I found out about it two months earlier. Due to poor planning on my part, I wasn’t able to get a kayak in time. But the three of us boarded and amphibian boat and set off. The people in this photos are tour guides. Their job is to fish people who fall out of the boats from the (literally) freezing waters. They also grab chunks of glacier ice out of the water so tourists can take a closer look.
