 During the warm summer the glacier melt from a nearby ice cap flooded the plains near Mælifell. The road normally easy to navigate became impossible to drive. But my drone could.

Congratulations, this is a stunning image. Having never viewed something like this before I got it wrong but now I know it was from a melting glacier. Your images have been my eyes to Iceland and all its beauty. Thank you

I am thinking this is a volcanic flood, having never actually viewed one. Beautiful and flowing.
