Mr. 2.109,6 m, a photo from Vestmannaeyjar, Sudurland

Photographer's Note

Finally afternoon we were shown Mr 2109.6 m, the highest peak in Iceland.

Is a peak in the north-western rim of the Öræfajökull volcano in Iceland and the highest point of the island. An official measurement completed in August 2005 established its height as 2,109.6 metres (6,921 ft) (previously set as 2,119 m (6,952 ft)).

The peak is part of the Skaftafell National Park. The route to the top is a popular climb though numerous and frequently hidden crevasses call for experienced mountain guides.

spectacular the view of the peak of the Iceland Mt.that was surrounded from the fog,and the falling light to make the scene so great.I like the colour and light management as the clarity of the image.Well done.

Have a good day,Danos

Hi again.

Thanks for sharing this. Now I know this is 10 metres lower than I thought... You actually have several nice photos in your gallery so far. This looks especially nice because of the clouds as a framing and the snowy peak itself. So majestic!

Keep up the good work,
Fredrik

Hi Josep
This picture caught my attention, since it is really nice, but also since it recalled something in my memory... Checking your note and date taken, I may conclude that we were in the same region at about the same date !
Regards
Georges
