Iceland - Getting to Grímsfjall Volcano at Vatnajökull Glacier is dangerous │ Part 89

* * * WARNING – Don’t try this alone - One mistake and you. . . * * *

Grímsfjall is a mountain on the west side of Vatnajökull within Vatnajökull National Park. In order to get there, you have to cross rivers with heavy currents, quicksand, ice wet snow that sucks the car in, along with various other dangerous conditions.

The mountain is actually the southern edge of the caldera of the Grímsvötn volcano. On the mountain are the peaks Eystri and Vestari Svíahnúkur. Is the eastern one higher (1722 m.). The highest point of the mountain is 1725 meters.

Vatnajökull also known as the Water Glacier in English, is the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland, and one of the largest in area in Europe. It is the second largest glacier in area after Austfonna on Svalbard in Norway but, nevertheless, larger by volume. It is located in the south-east of the island, covering more than 9% of the country

Under the ice cap, as under many of the glaciers of Iceland, there are several volcanoes. Eruptions from these volcanoes have led to the development of large pockets of water beneath the ice, which may burst the weakened ice and cause a jökulhlaup (glacial lake outburst flood). During the last ice age, numerous volcanic eruptions occurred under Vatnajökull, creating many subglacial eruptions.
