  2. Jökulsárlón - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jökulsárlón

    Icebergs gather at the mouth of the lake's shallow exit, melt down into smaller ice blocks, and roll out into the sea. Ice water and soil make a unique ecological phenomenon. [citation needed] Jökulsárlón Lake, the "glacier lake", was reported to have doubled in size in the 15-year period before 2007. The huge blocks of ice that calve from ...

  3. List of glaciers in Iceland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_glaciers_in_Iceland

    About 7,000 years ago, the Pleistocene ice from the last Ice Age over Iceland disappeared almost entirely, so the current glaciers in Iceland are not that old. [2]: 377 In the case of Iceland as several large glaciers are over active volcanoes, geothermal melting can be a substantial component of the glacier ice mass balance.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Iceland

    The oldest sub-aerial rocks in modern-day Iceland are from 16.5 Ma. [5] [8] Although most scientists believe Iceland is both in contact with a mantle plume, and being actively split apart by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, some other seismological and geophysical evidence calls the previously discussed mantle plume/hotspot assumption into question.

  5. Heinrich event - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_event

    The icebergs contained rock mass that had been eroded by the glaciers, and as they melted, this material was dropped to the sea floor as ice rafted debris (abbreviated to "IRD") forming deposits called Heinrich layers. The icebergs' melting caused vast quantities of fresh water to be added to the North Atlantic.

    At this rate, only small ice caps will remain after two hundred years. [26] Some models predict Iceland's glacial mass will shrink a third by 2100. [27] Iceland’s retreating glaciers have global and local consequences. Melting of Iceland’s glaciers could raise sea levels by a centimeter, [28] which could lead to erosion and flooding ...
