Hoffellsjökull

Hoffellsjökull
One of the many outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull seen from Höfn, two more in the notes.

All are retreating at a rapid rate though Vatnajökull itself due to its enormous size of 8100 km² is expected to still be existence by the end of the century. It might be the only Icelandic glacier left by then if mankind doesn't manage to get a grip on itself - which sadly doesn't look likely after Cop27.-(

Stunning and so very beautiful. Love all the colour tones here. Ace photography and essential to view large I say, Gudrun :-)
It would be an absolute tragedy if this became the only Icelandic glacier left!

Thanks very much, Roger! The views on all sides were just superlative, helped by the good weather.

I'm not sure whether even a complete stop to CO emissions right now could halt the melt soon enough. There are scientists who think the Greenland icecap might already have passed the tipping point.
