Most Brits spend time finding seashells on the
seashore but one man in the frozen north combs beaches for these
incredible diamond-like blocks of ice.
Photographer Lurie Belegurschi took these amazing images showing the
colourful 'icescapes' of Iceland and Greenland that look almost like
giant Fox's Glacier mints.

The glowing ice rocks are lit up beautifully by sunsets and sunrises and
can be seen in many different colours and shapes in contrast to its
surroundings.
The Moldovan photographer scoured the frozen shores over the past year
in East Greenland and Vatnajokull National Park in Iceland while on his
photography tours.

He said: 'Ice is one of my favourite subjects to photograph, especially
blue ice. You can find a lot of blue ice in Iceland and Greenland.
'My favourite place in Iceland is Jökulsárlón, a large glacial lagoon in
south east Iceland, on the borders of Vatnajokull National Park.

'Situated at the head of Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, it evolved into a
lagoon after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic
Ocean.
'Near Jökulsárlón you can find black sandy beaches with a lot of
icebergs, they look stunning especially during sunset and sunrise.

'I always had to watch the waves. Sometimes they can be really big in
Iceland, actually last year a big wave destroyed my equipment.
'I think Icescapes in Iceland and Greenland are really amazing and it
should be on everyone's bucket list.'
