IMG_0454_skidoo.jpg Tourists riding through a stinking fog of exhaust fumes from skidoos on the Langjokull ice sheet in Iceland. Like all of Iceland's glaciers it is retreating rapidly due to climate change. Scientists predict that all Icelands glaciers will be gone within 100 years. It is rather ironic that the tour guide mentioned  they have to drive further to reach the ice sheet every year.

IMG_9742_volcanic ash.jpg The snout of the Solheimajokull glacier on the Myrdalsjokull ice cap in Iceland. It was melting rapidly due to climate change, but is now melting even faster after the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull covered it in black ash, meaning that it absorbs more of the suns solar radiation. Scientists predict that all of Icelands glaciers will have disappeared within 100 years.

IMG_7582_jokulhlaup.jpg Metal girders from a bridge that forded a glacial meltwater river crossing the Skeiderarsandur, in the Skaftafell National Park in Iceland. The bridge was destroyed by a jokulhlaup, a glacial flood that are frequent in the area and often caused by volcanic activity rapidly melting huge quantities of ice.
