Iceland Days 6 and 7

Glacial panorama 2

Vatnajökull is the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland, covering more than 8 percent of the country. It measures 8,100 km² and averages 400 m thick with a maximum of 1000 m. That’s 6/10 of a mile deep. We visited just a couple of the outlet glaciers over two days. (With much better weather the 2nd day!)
