The lagoon is a liquid burial ground of ice from Iceland's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Along with it, an ancient archive of thousands of years of information preserved in the ice is melting into the atmosphere. The deafening thunder accompanying the collapse of the massive chunks of melting ice warns that a wealth of knowledge that will never be read is disappearing along with it. It also points to the challenges that Iceland and the world will soon have to face. If nature has a personality, it speaks with a distinctive voice in this place.
