Description
Summary:View to the east across Jokulsaron, a small lake ponded meltwater at the toe of an outlet glacier extending from Vatnajokull. Banding (steeply-inclined to the left) defined by bubble-rich versus bubble-poor layers and/or coarse grained versus fine grained layer is apparent in blue ice berg in foreground. In background, debris- or ash-rich layers define banding in icebergs.
