The lake has grown since then at varying rates because of melting of the glaciers. The glacial front is now about 8 km (5.0 mi) away from the ocean's edge and the lake covers an area of about 18 km 2 (6.9 sq mi). In 2009 it was reported to be the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 284 m (932 ft), as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. [1]
Jökulsárlón, located on the edge of Vatnajökull National Park. Vatnajökull National Park was established on 7 June 2008. When established, the park covered an area of 12,000 km 2, but with later additions of Lakagígar, Langisjór, Krepputunga [ˈkʰrɛhpʏˌtʰuŋka] and Jökulsárlón (including its surrounding areas) it now covers 14,967 km 2 or approximately 14% of Iceland, making it ...
[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. [3]: 2 Accordingly Iceland's glacier area varies from year to year and some glaciers may grow while others regress. The tables below have to be interpreted considering such ...

All hail the grandma swept away on iceberg in Iceland for making winter travel more interesting and fun. This Grandma Is Being Called the Iceberg Queen After She Was Swept Away on a Chunk of Ice ...
These patterns are suggested to reflect channel melting, and sheet flow under the front, respectively. [2] Similar processes on a very large scale occurred during the deglaciation of North America and Europe after the last ice age (e.g., Lake Agassiz and the English Channel ), and presumably at earlier times, although the geological record is ...
Take a look at what lies beneath the water in images of a flipped iceberg. Filmmaker Alex Cornell went to Antarctica to photograph the landscape, Rare look at what lies beneath icebergs
The warming of the northern hemisphere would have caused ice-sheet melting and many D-O events appear to have been ended by Heinrich events, in which massive streams of icebergs broke off from the then-present Laurentide ice sheet. As the icebergs melted in the ocean, the ocean water would have become fresher, weakening the circulation and ...
