Glacial Rivers
As mentioned, Iceland is home to many natural wonders, and that includes incredible glacial rivers that form from their massive and ancient glaciers. These networks of rive channels start our flowing at the glaciers and head into the sea. This helps distribute nutrients necessary for the ecosystem that is passed along the way. When the river’s flow goes down, sediment is left on the river bed, which leaves behind the characteristic black volcanic sand that causes the splits in the channels.
