Photo Blog by Rajan Parrikar has posted a new item, 'Háalda'

Mysterious.

Háalda - pronounced how-aaldaa, lit. 'high wave' - is a large glacier ridge
(wave) formed during the 1727 eruption of the volcano Öræfajökull, itself a
sub-glacier of Vatnajökull. In geological parlance, this is known as a
dead-ice terrain.

In the second image, the glacial tongue Kotárjökull is seen extending
downward.
