Afternoon view from Skaftafellsheiði in southeastern direction. Skaftafellsjökull, dominating the foreground of the image, is an outlet glacier of the ice cap Vatnajökull. The stratovolcano Öræfajökull appears in the background. Its summit Hvannadalshnúkur (2110 m, right centre) represents the highest peak of Iceland.
