Svínafellsjökull

Svínafellsjökull
Svínafellsjökull is an outlet glacier of Öræfajökull/ Vatnajökull. The mountainside on the right is unstable as can be seen by the landslide that covers part of the glacier.

Möglicherweise hat der Gletscher früher - als er noch höher war - dem Berghang Stabilität gegeben...

Gudrun club has replied to ©UdoSm club
Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Genauso ist es! Und offenbar hat der Berg noch mehr und größere Risse...
Als wir zum Gletscher sind, war die Zufahrtsstraße, die wir beim ersten Besuch genutzt hatten, gerade gesperrt und wir konnten nur weiter vorne ran.

Schönen Dank, Nouchet! Da kann man nur hoffen, dass nicht noch mehr vom Berg runterkommt, wenn Touristen in der Nähe sind....

A spectacular view in these two photos Gudrun..............I notice that the link you posted was dated 2018, so what they predicted back then has started to happen and it likely to get much worse. Such a dangerous situation.........I hope people take notice of the warnings!
2 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you so much, Keith! Right now there is no active warning, I guess spring/early summer with snow/ice melt are the dangerous times. Anyway, they wouldn't hesitate to close off all access if it got really dangerous.

Superbly taken Gudrun!
Let's hope that it stays that way for a long time...

Thanks very much, Judite! The glacier is retreating and the lagoons at its end are getting larger but it will last for a while yet.

Danke vielmals, Uwe! Es wird noch größere Gletscherlagunen geben, aber der Vatnajökull ist so riesig, dass er noch ein bisschen bleiben wird.

This area looks very dramatic and also very dangerous. This is why tour guides are so important in a country like Iceland.
2 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Amelia club
Thanks a lot, Amelia! I read about an incident when a Spanish tourist followed the tracks of a special tour truck on to Langjökull glacier- in a normal car! And the whole family got out and walked around on the glacier, totally oblivious of the dangers... that caused quite a stir in Iceland.

Fantastic glacier shots with those marvelous colors so typical,
but the future of this area due to climate change truly doesn't look bright.
2 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to * ઇઉ * club
Thanks a lot, * ઇઉ *! Unfortunately all glaciers will shrink and eventually disappear, though Vatnajökull due to its enormous size will be the last one to go in Iceland. The first Icelandic glacier has officially been declared dead a few years ago, they even had a ceremony.
In Iceland there will also be an uptick in volcanism as less weight on top of volcanoes will make it easier for eruptions to break through the ice.

Great images of this glacier, Gudrun. Sadly, yet another glacier where climate change is being demonstrated by the retreat.

Das könnte auch im ► Berner Oberland sein. ;-)

Gudrun club has replied to polytropos club
Merci, poly! Ja, das Berner Oberland macht vor, wie es am Vatnajökull in ein paar Jahrzehnten aussehen wird. Nur dass das Berner Oberland zu eurem Glück keinen Hotspot/ MantlePlume hat, sonst würde es für die Schweiz ungemütlich;-)

Stimmt, der Hotspot/ MantlePlume fehlt uns, zum glück! ;-)
