Glacier river Nupsvötn in the western part of the Skeidararsandur in June 1997, behind it the Skeidararjökull (glacier), above it the Skaftafellstjöll (mountains). In this area, the 450 m high glacier lake must have broken through; on the satellite map, the glacier collapse up to the volcano Grimsvötn, 45 km away, can be seen quite clearly.

A small storm broke out here at the Hansesail in Rostock.

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. 
