  • Fog and pastel-colored clouds are reflected onto the water of Hornafjörður, a fjord in the Eastern Region of Iceland near Höfn. The Vatnajökull ice cap, the largest glacier in Europe, is visible on the horizon. Breiðabunga, a 3,468-foot (1,057-meter) ice-capped mountain, is among the peaks covered by the ice cap. Vatnajökull roughly translates to the "water glacier."
