Notes: |
Near Skaftafell, Iceland - In 1996, a volcanic eruption underneath the Vatnajökull glacier caused massive flooding in the Skeiðarársandur alluvial plain and took out parts of the ring road near Skaftafell National Park. Here a mangled steel beam lays on display on the side of the road, testament to the power of the glacial floods.
