Iceland Undergoes Change From Impact Of Global Warming
HOF, ICELAND - AUGUST 15: In this aerial view receding Breidamerkurjokull glacier, a portion of it black with volcanic dust and stones, ends at Jokulsarlon lake and creates a winding lagoon on August 15, 2021 near Hof, Iceland. Breidamerkurjokull, among the biggest of the dozens of glaciers that descend from Vatnajokull ice cap, is melting, losing an average of 100 to 300 meters in length annually. Breidamerkurjokull's meltwater has created Jokulsarlon, which is now Iceland's biggest lake. Iceland is undergoing a strong impact from global warming. Since the 1990s, 90 percent of Iceland's glaciers have been retreating and projections for the future show a continued and strong reduction in size of its five ice caps.
