Dyngjujökull is an outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull glacier in Vatnajökull National Park, in the Icelandic Highlands, situated between the volcanic features Bárðarbunga, Holuhraun and Kverkfjöll. Its meltwater flows into Jökulsá á Fjöllum, Iceland second-longest river. On 6 September 2014 scientists discovered depressions in the glacier surface that prompted speculation of eruptions occurring beneath it, associated with seismic activity at the Bárðarbunga caldera that lies beneath the ice.
