Hoffellsjökull

One of the many outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull seen from Höfn, two more in the notes.

All are retreating at a rapid rate though Vatnajökull itself due to its enormous size of 8100 km² is expected to still be existence by the end of the century. It might be the only Icelandic glacier left by then if mankind doesn't manage to get a grip on itself - which sadly doesn't look likely after Cop27.-(

Hast Recht Gudrun und ich höre heute schon das Heulen und Jammern derer, die heute dafür sorgen, dass die Verantwortlichen nicht weiterkommen beim Verbessern der Klimaprobleme und ihren Beitrag vor Allem im Blah Blah leisten...

Danke vielmals, Udo! Da könnte man echt einen ganz dicken Hals kriegen... Und auch hierzulande hat es viel zu viele, die keinen Deut vom Status quo abweichen wollen so nach dem Motto- Jockel gang du vora....

Besten Dank, Lothar! Irgendwo habe ich eine Zeitrafferaufnahme gesehen, in einem einzigen Jahr von den Rangern gemacht... da wird's dir anders.

You show us such beautiful impressions of this area that you could be forgiven to think that there was no problem, but of course, we all know by now that there is. It's going to take a lot of tackling! In the meantime I will enjoy your beautiful series here.
Sunday greetings.

Gudrun replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Thank you so much, Rosa! It's utterly beautiful seen from this place that sits on a spit in a lagoon. I wonder what will happen there with sea level rise,,, Maybe glacial rebound will even it out a bit.
