At its thickest point the ice is 950 meters thick. On average the thickness varies from 400 to 600 metres. Below the glacier are valleys, mountains and plateaus, but also active volcanoes, especially the Grímsvötn and Bárðarbunga. These are both the largest and most active volcanoes under the glacier. There is also Esjufjoll, the subglacial volcano on the southeast side of the glacier, which lies as an island under the ice and is surrounded on all sides by the glacier.
