Gígjökull Glacier Outlet of Eyjafjallajökull by Extreme Iceland During the volcanic eruption of 2010, an immense jökulhlaup – an outburst flood of meltwater – came out of this hole under the glacier. Hundreds of people needed to be evacuated from the area.

This is the largest outlet of Eyjafjallajökull. It’s on the way to Þórsmörk (Thorsmork).

Seljalandsfoss waterfall by leahg123 On an otherwise cloudy day, the sun came out for a brief 5 minutes while I ventured behind this waterfall. Because of where I was standing, I was the only one who got to see the rainbow. The wind was not in my favor and I was getting drenched…I had to repeatedly clean the lens and shoot until I finally got a shot without water droplets. The effort and the angle was worth it– it’s one of my favorite photos from this trip. http://flic.kr/p/cySkvS
