Langjokull Glacier...

rises to 1,450 meters (4,756 feet) and today we drove to the summit of the second largest ice cap in Iceland in two “super jeeps.”

View of the ice cap from the lower outwash plain.

View southeastward from the summit of Langjokull glacier across the rift valley (mid-ocean ridge) toward Hekla volcano, approximately 50 km (30 miles) distant.
