Steam rising from Grimsfjall volcanic eruption in 1998, Vatnajokull Ice Cap, Iceland

by Ragnar Sigurdsson (arctic-images.com), Iceland

The 1998 eruption occurred at the southern edge of the Grimsvotn caldera, at the foot of Mt. Grimsfjall which rises about 300 m above the flat ice shelf of the Grimsvotn subglacial lake, on Vatnajokull Ice Cap.
