We went to Gígjökull, an outlet glacier on the northern side of Eyjafjallajökull, where dead ice and a lagoon are impressive features.
Then there was a stop at Sólheimajökull, which is retreating several tens of meters per year since 1996; 134 m in 2008.
On Saturday, May 16, we stopped by Kvíárjökull, and then onwards to Jökulsárlón. At Jökulsárlón part of the group did GPS measurements between the coast and the lake, while the other part explored the other lagoons in the neighborhood.
On Sunday we went to Skaftafell, and walked to the terminus of Skaftafellsjökull.
We were very lucky with the weather, as the pictures below (you can click to get the album) show !
Cheers, Throstur.
