Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland
冰島瓦特納冰川國家公園
Five years ago Iceland embarked on a major conservation effort, uniting two of its existing national parks to create the largest national park in Western Europe. Spanning nearly 8,500 square miles (that’s just short of 13% of the country), Vatnajökull is also appropriately home to the largest glacier in the world outside the Arctics – the massive Vatnajökull glacier which measures over 3,000ft thick in some areas.
五年前，冰島開始著手于自然保護(hù)區(qū)的維護(hù)，將冰島兩大自然保護(hù)去合并打造成了西歐最大的自然公園。跨越近8500平方英里(只比整個(gè)國家的橫跨面積少13%）瓦特納冰川國家公園最厚的冰川超過了3000英尺的厚度。
This park is characterised by the constant battle between fire and ice. Snowy white glaciers are contrasted by black volcanic beaches and piping hot streams erupt through frozen banks of ice to ensure a very dynamic and ever-changing landscape.
瓦特納冰川國家公園的最大特點(diǎn)是火與冰之間的不斷斗爭。白色的冰川與黑色的火山形成鮮明對(duì)比，火山的熱蒸汽使冰川不斷融化，形成不斷變化的自然景觀，這也讓整個(gè)冰川公園顯得充滿活力。
