Dyrhólaey and Sólheimajökull Glacier
Dyrhólaey
Dyrholaey is a 120 m high and precipitous promontory. A large, natural gate has been eroded through its southernmost part. When the sea is calm, big vessels can sail through it and in 1995, two adventurers flew in a small aircraft through it. |

At the Dyrhólaey Sea Level

| It is thought by many that the architect of The Church of Hallgrímur got inspiration from this or a similar volcanic outcropping. [dwb] |
Sólheimajökull Glacier Tongue

| Sólheimajökull glacier tongue extends down from it's mother
glacier, Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland's fourth largest. Poor weather prevented us from getting closer. The "gravel" in the foreground is really ice covered with glacial debris. [dwb] [jwz] | |
