View over the Vatnajökull glacier to the east;
(ID 268)
Ring Road about 65 km west of Höfn on the south coast, in June 1997 most of the Ring Road was still not paved but looked like this, today most of it is paved.
Kalfafellsdalur in June 1997, taken from the edge of the Vatnajökull glacier; unfortunately, the mountain peaks on the other side of the valley could not be seen, the mountains are about 1400 m



View over the Vatnajökull glacier to the east; continuing by jeep was not permitted in June 1997 for safety reasons. The Bardarbunga volcano beneath the glacier erupted on 02.10.1996, and the heat melted large amounts of ice into a 450 m high underground lake, which broke through the ice on the south coast on 04.11.1996. Parts of the ice cover have collapsed, but large cavities were still suspected, which could collapse at any time.

30 islands and skerries form the archipelago of the Westman Islands off the south coast of Iceland. The last ones emerged from the sea only 5,000 years ago. In the background, the sixth largest glacier in Iceland, the Eyjafjallajökull, can be seen. In June 2010, the eruption of this volcano caused major disruptions in European air traffic.
