High Atop Mighty Vatnajokull


Tuesday I went up to the top of Vatnajokull, the biggest glacier in Europe (and 3rd biggest in the world) with my new friend Kieth. Here´s a picture from about halfway up. The top of the glacier is about 2km high, if I am not mistaken. Here, we are probably about 800 m up. The view would have been better if it weren´t raining, but it wasn´t coming down too hard. I can´t complain about the rain, I really got very lucky. For such a rainy place, I only saw rain for about 1 1/2 days.
