Yes, I ripped it off Steinn. Nothing to see here, beyond people who shouldn't be here because their flights have been cancelled. Clear sunny skies, nice sunset, no hint of anything in front of the moon.
The scars I mean crevasses are also haunting. It will be amazing to compare the ice cap before and after images. This glacier which had been retreating rapidly due to climate, has now added a whole new dimension to its melting. The ice cap is not small though and will not be gone. GÃgjökull the largest outlet of the ice cap is a good example.
this helps understand the size:

I'm surprised I haven't seen any "THIS IS THE FACE OF SATAN!" headlines in US papers yet (they had that on 9/11).
