  15. On Reflection

    Halfway through an October afternoon, and we're on the southern side of the Öræfajökull glacier in south-west Iceland.

    The rocks between the two glacier tongues are lit beautifully, and the scene is reflected in the roadside lake.

    The glacier on the left is Stigárjökull and Hólárjökull is on the right.

  30. Poisonous

    Under a cloud of volcanic gases with the eruption behind us, we were looking out to sea.

    The vog had passed across Vatnajökull glacier on its way from the Holuhraun eruption of Bárðarbunga and had cooled, most of the steam had condensed and the gases - mainly SO₂ CO₂ and H₂S - had separated. The lighter sulphurous gases can be seen above while the heavier ones formed a layer over the water.
