An outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, Svinafellsjökull comes down from Iceland's highest mountain Hvannadalshnúkur (2110m) which sits on the caldera rim of Öræfajökull volcano.
As the glacier retreats the mountainsides have become unstable. There have been major landslides and the popular excursions on the glacier have become dangerous. In 2007 two German mountaineers disapperared without trace.
