This is the "Echo Cliffs," said Einarsson Hjorleifur, that vatnajokul manage national parks, the northeast side of Krafla. "We are looking basalt pillars of every shape and size available." He explained that about 8,000 or 9,000 years ago a large crack around our bubbling lava flows along the 8 km, the valley fills up to a point just above our heads. Then, turning the flood surge. "So now you see what the inside of the center of the volcano."
This valley is a wonder of the world camouflaged by syllable. Glad I could tell my friends in the U.S.: "Look Jokulsargljufur in Vatnajokulsthjodgardur! (Which means "Look at River Cliff Glacier National Park Water-Glecier.")
Jokulsargljufur is the Louvre Museum lava, basal pillar awesome. Under the waterfall, there is a pillar with a diagonal position, lateral, transverse, swerve, and towering above as we.
Jokulsargljufurhas a new visitor center, built in 2007, on top of a giant horseshoe-shaped cliff nicknamed Asbyrgi. Space resembles a giant frozen waterfall. Originally formed by glacier floods last year 3000-11000.

Our friends Icelandic origin, both old and new, have demonstrated how she cried coexist with lava. As we flew back to North America, I realized that never saw the eruption. So maybe I will stay in the pack and traveled volcano.
Behind us, a volcano looked fast asleep, but her stomach was ready to explode.
