The nunataks of Hrolleifsbjorg and Reydarbunga
Kaldalon glacier -- spring snow cover. This photo from 2007 was taken shortly after the 1995-2005 surge, during which the glacier advanced and thickened by about 85m.
There's a nice gallery here -- photos taken on a skiing trip from Kaldalon and up onto Drangajokull in good weather at the end of April 2007. The snowcover is still quite extensive -- and since 2007 there has been very rapid melting on Kaldalonsjökull and on the ice cap itself.
