Gigjökull (Crater Glacier) comes down from the top of Eyjafjalljökull and can be seen from the F-road to Þórsmörk. The photos were taken from the end moraine.
Before the notorious 2010 eruption this was a famous beauty spot with pristine blue-white ice and a glacier lagoon with icebergs swimming in it. After the eruption the lagoon had disappeared, in its place were ash and volcanic debris and the glacier was a black stump. 12 years later it has started to recuperate though there's still plenty of ash.

Sowohl Þórsmörk als auch Laki kannst du nur mit großem 4x4 befahren, die Furten sind gefährlich (es lagen abgebrochene Auspuffe und Nummernschilder im und am Fluss;-) und Mietwagenfirmen verbieten oft die F-Straßen selbst bei 4x4. Grundsätzlich sind Schäden durch Flussquerungen nie versichert, das kann im Ernstfall teuer werden.
