Markarfljotsaurar outwash plain, Southcoast, Iceland
Markarfljotsaurar - Before this vast alluvial plain was gradually created, a big and 250 m deep bay cut in between the mountains. Two freestanding hillocks, Stora- and Litla Dimon, were islands. Eyjafjallajokull erupted the last time in 1821-1823 and flooded the alluvial plain Markarfljotsaurar.
