Flying inside a glacier lake after it drained, and getting a close up look at where the water escaped. GLOF stands for Glacial Lake Outburst Flood, which is the sudden and release of a large amount of water from a glacial lake. It happens here typically once every year. “Jökulhlaups (an Icelandic word pronounced yo-KOOL-lahp) are glacial outburst floods. They occur when a lake fed by glacial meltwater breaches its dam and drains catastrophically.” -National Park Service | Leigh Coates

Flying inside a glacier lake after the water released. A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF), is the sudden release of water from a glacial lake due to the failure of a natural glacier ice dam. This Jökulhlaup event happens every year, it drains in a day and a half, leaving massive icebergs on the lake bed you see here. The drainage water carries rock, silt and ice to the ocean a few miles downhill often creating a river delta, and new land to explore. | Leigh Coates
