The terminus of Sólheimajökull Glacier has countless facets ranging in color from sparking blue to black. The dark streaks are evidence of volcanic eruptions while the ice sheet moved from the accumulation zone to the ablation zone where it ends at this toe or snout. To get a sense of how massive this glacier is, notice the people on the surface. Several companies offer guided tours of Sólheimajökull because the walking is fairly moderate.
