On 20 May 2025, the Sentinel-2 satellite looked down on Iceland's south coast, where meltwater pouring off the ice cap above braids into dozens of shifting silver channels across a black sand outwash plain, sediment plumes bleeding out toward turquoise coastal water at the frame's edge.

Second Iceland piece in the catalogue, alongside The Iceberg Lagoon — the same glacial palette (black sand, silver water, turquoise sea) but rendered as flowing lines rather than scattered ice.
