Album Covers shot in Iceland - Part 2: P.M. Dawn's "Of the heart, of the soul and of the cross: The Utopian Experience"


The Debut Album of P.M Dawn entitled "Of the heart, of the cross and of the cross: The Utopian Experience", released in 1991, had the glacial lake Jökulsárlón on the cover. A lot of movies used this place, 2 times for a James Bond movie (Die another day & A view to a kill), Tomb Raider, to name a few.
Wikipedia:
Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. Appearing first only in 1934-1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km² in 1975 to at least 18 km² today because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth of 200 m, Jökulsárlón is now probably the second deepest lake in Iceland.
Jökulsárlón is separated from the sea by only a short distance, and the combined action of the glacier, the river that empties from the lake, and the ocean may eventually transform it into an inlet of the sea. There are plans to prevent this from happening, since the only road in the area passes over the narrow isthmus.
It is not far from the Icelandic Ring Road, and buses travelling between Höfn and Reykjavík usually stop there. The lake is filled with icebergs, which are calving off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.
