Iceland: A Land of Ice (1)

Even in summer, you can find plenty of ice in Iceland by finding some glaciers. You won't have far to look. 




Where as some look brilliant white, many look dirty, darkened by the volcanic rock they sit on and gouge as they move.


On one of our days we did a brilliant 4 x 4 safari which toward the end took us across the Maelifellsandur desert to the Myrdallsjokull glacier which stretched right across the horizon. 





      
On the Myrdallsjokull 'black' Glacier. Notice vehicles in the distance.



Sometimes it's possible to get under the glacier!






Next up in part 2 - The ice lake made famous by James Bond.
