Gigjökull

Gigjökull
Panorama stitched from 10 verticals. EXIF: Canon EOS 6D, EF24-70mm f/4L IS USM- 55mm, ISO 400, F13, 1/320

Gigjökull (Crater Glacier) comes down from the top of Eyjafjalljökull and can be seen from the F-road to Þórsmörk. The photos were taken from the end moraine.
Before the notorious 2010 eruption this was a famous beauty spot with pristine blue-white ice and a glacier lagoon with icebergs swimming in it. After the eruption the lagoon had disappeared, in its place were ash and volcanic debris and the glacier was a black stump. 12 years later it has started to recuperate though there's still plenty of ash.

Thanks very much, Keith! I was lazy with the pano and didn't use completely manual settings but MS ICE coped easily with that;-) I just fed the RAWs into the program and tweaked a bit....

Climate change showed itself in reverse this year- as Europe was sweltering under the heat, Iceland had the coldest and worst July since many decades!
