Skaftafellsjökull glacier

Posted by Hoshisato (Ealing, United Kingdom) on 6 August 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This glacier is really on its way back up the Vatnajökull ice cap: We walked up to the glacier via a footpath and arrived at the viewing point but the glacier was nowhere near there and we had to walk a couple of hundred meters further to get close to it. Given the fact that it was only early summer and the viewing point seemed to be constructed to be really close to the glacier, it gave the impression that the glacier was retreating at a rapid pace.
