Summary The Glaciological Society organised the annual spring expedition (June 2–11th, 2007) to Vatnajökull along the same lines as in previous years. The huts at Grímsvötn were the main base oft the expedition while a smaller group was stationed in temporary caravans in the eastern Skaftá Cauldron. The main tasks of the expedition were drilling into the sub- glacial lake under the cauldron, mapping and other research at Grímsvötn, glaciological and meteorolog- ical research, including servicing and installation of automatic weather stations, and GPS measurements to monitor magma accumulation at Grímsvötn and study isostatic movements related to shrinkage of Vatna- jökull. In addition, the Kverkfjöll geothermal area at the northern margin of the glacier was surveyed. All these tasks could be carried out despite difficult weather conditions, especially during the early part of the expedition. While the majority of the expedition participants left for Reykjavík on June 9th, a smaller group headed back to Grímsvötn to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the old hut at Grímsvötn. Among par- ticipants of this trip were several of those that took part in building the hut in 1957. Meðan Eiríkur, Jón og Tanya stóðu í ströngu við að ganga frá kerrum og öðrum flutningi, stilltu aðrir sér upp til myndatöku. Frá hægri: Magnús Tumi, Inga, Haukur, Magnús, Ólafur, Hulda, Árni, Auður, Stefán og Halldór. – The group that celebrated the 50th anniversary of the old hut in Grímsvötn on June 9-11 included several honorary members of the Glaciological Society.
