The highest mountain in Iceland, Oraefajokull (2119 m). The glacial moraine behind the Hotel Skaftafell at 7 in the evening. Tip of the next glacial peak east of Oraefajokull. All of these glaciers are fingers of the Vatnajokull icecap. Remains of Bridge Harebell.
Which of the 365 is this? IMG_0564 - Version 2.jpg A “sliding glacier,” covered in volcanic debris, within walking distance of the Visitors’ Center at Skaftafell National Park. Volcanic fires beneath this glacier melt the ice; as pressure builds up, the glacier moves. A small waterfall greets visitors who follow the path to the sliding glacier.

Jean,
Thanks for the photo-tour. We've never been to Iceland so seeing your photos was a treat.
All is going well out here on the left coast. We just got back from the Pacific northwest and are heading out tomorrow on an RV caravan. We'll have two foreign students till Christmas and then we head to Death Valley for a week or two.
