Svartárgljúfur, Hreppar formation

Description

Pleistocene glacial evidence. Unconformity between subaerial basalt lavas and an overlying diamictite and thick lacustrine silt-sandstone. In the upper section of the lacustrine deposit are drop stones from a re-glaciation and overlying that is a glacial till (diamictite). Taken on foot from the clifftop opposite using an Olympus Om-d em-10. Worked surprisingly well considering the poor input data.
