Öræfajökull

Öræfajökull
Öræfajökull, seen here from Höfn across Hornafjörður, is the most SE point of Iceland and has always been a landmark for sailors. The name means "wasteland glacier" and denotes both the glacier and the stratovolcano lying underneath it.
Looks are deceptive, Öræfajökull is thought to be Europe's 2nd largest stratovolcano after Etna with a massive 600-700m deep ice filled caldera and an altitude of 2110m, making it Iceland's highest mountain.

The white flowers in the foreground are Angelica sylvestris (see note),

Such interesting info - thank you, Gudrun. Let's hope that this giant remains asleep for a long time hence.

Gudrun club has replied to Amelia club
Thank you so much, Amelia! It will be very uncomfortable when it erupts, probably the place will go dark for hours/days with ashfall and air traffic could come to a standstill....

Along with your information, this is a terrific series Gudrun. I love your shot of the angelica as well. I am learning so much about Iceland through your photos.
Wishing you a good weekend.

Gudrun club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks a lot, Rosa! Luckily on my Iceland trips we have always had guides with a vast knowledge of their country. Angelica (both A.sylvestris and A. archangelica) grow profusely in Iceland.

Herzlichen Dank, Volker! Man kann glaube ich geführte Touren in Kleinstgruppe machen, man braucht Steigeisen und meines Wissens auch Seil wegen der Gletscherspalten. Der Aufstieg ist nicht ohne...

Großen Dank, Alex! Haha, du sprichst mir aus der Seele! Höfn hat schon eine einzigartige Lage mit Traum-Sicht...Aber wenn der Vulkan hochgeht, möchte ich gaaanz weit weg sein;-)
Und mit den anderen Orten hast du ja so recht....

A magical landscape with gorgeous light and sunshine. I like those impressive snow capped peaks and then the alternating layers of water and landscape.

Three nicely composed and taken images in the PiPs as well.

A great series, Gudrun. That's a huge volcano, has it erupted in recorded history?
22 months ago.
Gudrun club has replied to tiabunna club
Thanks a lot, George! I did last erupt in 1727, but the 1362 eruption was the devastating one with a 35km high eruption column and pyroclastic flows- comparable to Pinatubo. It has been getting restless again and is closely monitored...
