About

Dyngjujökull is an outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull glacier in Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. The glacier is in the Icelandic Highlands and is situated between Bárðarbunga, Holuhraun and Kverkfjöll.

The blue of glacial ice is something photos can't capture. You have to see it in person.

Never walk on glaciers without a guide and proper equipment. Crevasses can be hidden by snow bridges.
