These photos were taken during a hike on the Myrdalsjokull glacier in southern Iceland near the city of Vik. It is Iceland’s fourth largest glacier, covering 232 square miles and is 1,500 meters at its highest point. Myrdalsjokull sits atop an active volcano, Katla. The volcano usually erupts every 100 years and, since its last eruption was in 1918, it is overdue. Having a glacier atop a volcano poses a potential serious flooding problem when the volcano erupts.












WOW! What hard experience, seems like that to me. Beautiful photographs, Thank you, Love, nia

Beautiful captures. We went for a glacier walk when we were in Iceland nearly a decade ago but it wasn’t like what you experienced! We didn’t see any ice caves or waterfalls within the glacier. How cool!
