In 1999 the large cliff in the middle of the photo started to bee seen through the glacier
From Þórsmörk in july
Those 20 years ago the glacier filled the bottom of the walley and at the root was a lagoon, very deep in parts. - Still the glacier had been much thicker when I started to travel the area around 1970.
In the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull 2010 the lagoon filled and actually the land in front of the cliffs is more than 100 meter higher than the surface of tha lagoon had been. The flood took very much of the Gígjökull, and brought with it so much volcanic sand
