Solheimajökull is an appoximately 9-mile-long outlet glacier advancing southward from the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap that covers the large Katla volcano in Iceland. This glacier has advanced and retreated many times over the ages, and when we visited, a lake and large moraines were found in front of the glacier. Some of the dark sediment may have been ash and debris from the eruption in 2010 of nearby Eyjafjallajökull volcano.
