Hoffellsjökull - Vatnajökull National Park

Hoffellsjökull is off road 1 and can be reached with a 4x4, however the gravel road is quite rough.

Hoffellsjökull, 17. janúar 2025, horft til suðurs. / Hoffellsjökull glacier as it looked on January 17th, viewed towards the South.

Two wonderful pics of vanishing icelandic glaciers by @terraartistica.bsky.social!

1- Hoffellsjokull, north-eastern tributary of Vatnajokull
2- Svinafellsjokull, southern tributary of Vatnajokull, where a landslide occurred in 2013 (deposit well visible)

I loved this bean-shaped area of brown water at the edge of the frozen glacial lagoon 🫘

On this day last year I got the drone up over an off-the-beaten-track glacial lagoon - Hoffellsjökull. It was grey, miserable, and eventually raining, but I got a couple of shots before giving up!

So many glaciers and glacial lagoons in south-east #Iceland. Have only been to this one (Hoffellsjökull) twice now - nice to have the place to myself.

Two different views: one taken with the CanonR6ii and one with DJIMavic3Pro drone.

Hoffellsjökull. :)

Really cool place, geologically, botanically, and aesthetically. I was 130m up, and the place used to be deep under ice in the late 1700s.

It's always with great emotion that I film glaciers in Iceland... every year, they retreat a little further, it's concrete and indisputable. Here we are at Hoffellsjökull, in the south-east, a discreet and little-visited spot, but one that features in our audio guide. 🎧❄️

Un des nombreux glaciers qui descend du Vatnajokull vers l'Atlantique. Comme les autres, le recul est spectaculaire. Entre 1890 et 2010, il a perdu 10% de sa surface, 20% de son volume. Inutile de dire que le bilan ne s'est pas amélioré depuis.

(We have retreating glaciers here too, though in most places not as minerologically as interesting. Though there's some nice gabbroic pegmatites at Hoffellsjökull, I'd love to explore them more (honestly, that whole region more...)

This summer I was at an outlook over Hóffellsjökull. The sign at the outlook made clear that I was 130m over the terminal lagoon below, and that in the late 1700s the area I was standing was under deep ice.

It's disturbing to see in person.
