Wakacje na lodowcu -- Zdjęcia z wyprawy na Islandję, lipiec 2002

One block from the center of Rejkyavik
I am testing my new camera

A pretty waterfall on the way to the lagune

The first peek at the glacier
...from the bus

Tomek and Jola are testing our pontoons

On the shores of the Jokulsarlon Lagune

Our first camp
Onthe shore of the Jokulsarlon Lagune

One of the icebergs on Jokulsarlon
Some thought it looked like an iron, to others it resembled a sail ship

Icebergs on Jokulsarlon

Sunbathing!
The air wasn't very cold but the water was freezing

Tomek calculating the coordinates of the waypoints for our trip

Jola and Tomek over the map

We are approaching Joklasel

Jola and Tomek
and their first steps on the glacier

Agnieszka and Lukasz, and their first steps on the glacier

It's cold!
Our second camp on the glacier

Tomek is digging out his tent from the snow during a blizzard

Łukasz in the morning

Rest
Jola, Tomek behind her

Jola is seals the tent with snow

On the way
It's one of the clearer days but we still cannot see the horizon

Łukasz leads with a compas and a GPS

Camp under Grimsvotn

Camp under Grimsvotn

We are approaching a sumit near Grimsvotn

Heading out to see the Grimsvotn crater

On the way to the crater

Steam coming out from cracks in the ground near the Grimsvotn crater

By the crater

By the crater

Changing lenses

Me by the Grimsvotn crater

In an icecave by the Grimsvotn crater

In a hut near Grimsvotn
After more than a week of hiking through the snow

Agnieszka and Łukasz
Playing cards

The last round of a card game called "planning"
If you know the game, you know what is going on

Mmmm, a hot meal!

Resting in the tracks left by a giant excursion vehicle

Tomek looking out from his tent

Packing up the camp and heading out

Agnieszka
We had to protect ourselves from stong sun and frostbite at the same time

Jola
The snow has ended and we continue on ice

Crevasses
We couldn't see or hear the bottom of this one

Łukasz

Looking at the map
Trying to pick the best place to leave the glacier

At last on real land!
Łukasz is taking a picture to commemorate the event

One of several rivers that were barely (or not at all) marked on the map
...and which were quite impossible to cross

Another take

The same river seen from the glacier

Yet again we are coming down from the glacier

Climbing the first crater of the Lakagigar region

On top of the crater

A smaller inner crater

Delicious!
