Climbing the glacial tongue













July 4th, 2007. On Solheimajokull, a glacial tongue of the "mother" glacier, Myrdulsjokull (jokull = glacier). We strapped on crampons! And learned how to walk on a glacier, avoiding crevasses. The black stuff you see is volcanic ash. Jeff and Donna pose under an ice arch, in a photo that looks oddly photo-shopped for some reason.
