Panoramic view from the trail to Sjónarnípa in eastern direction down to the terminus and proglacial lake of Skaftafellsjökull, an outlet glacier of the ice cap Vatnajökull. The stratovolcano Öræfajökull appears in the background. Its summit Hvannadalshnúkur (2110 m, centre) represents the highest peak of Iceland.
