Jökulsárlón icebergs postcard

This vintage color postcard shows icebergs from the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon scattered on Breiðamerkursandur black sand beach in southeast Iceland. The front captures a serene scene of jagged ice blocks reflecting in shallow water under a clear blue sky, with distant Vatnajökull glacier snow-capped mountains in the background.

The back is multilingual (Icelandic, English, German) with the caption: “Ice-blocks in the R. Jökulsá on Breiðamerkur sands (SE Iceland).” “Isstyker på Jökulsá på Breiðamerkursandur, sydøst for Vatnajökull.” “Eisblöcke im Fluss Jökulsá im Breiðamerkursandur (SO Island).”

It credits publication by Solarfilma s.f. (Vita Nova), Reykjavík, numbered 226 in the series. The layout includes a blank address/message area and publisher’s logo.

A classic mid-20th-century Icelandic tourism postcard from the Jökulsárlón / Vatnajökull area series.
