Photos of Grímsvötn

Glacier Road by NykO18

Panoramic view of the road crossing the desolated Skeiðarársandur floodplain with the astonishingly large Vatnajökull icecap visible in the distance. The Skeiðará river flowing in the plain was the most important obstacle in the construction of Iceland's Route 1. It was temporarily destroyed by water masses and blocks of ice during the last major flood in 1996, triggered by an eruption of the Grímsvötn volcano.
