Cold Water Surfing, Iceland

On Iceland's west coast, surfer and photographer Chris Burkard captured surfer Keith Malloy heading toward the river mouth of Vatnajokull glacier. According to Burkard, Malloy—a veteran of cold water surfing—said that the water on this day was the coldest he had ever been in.
