Research Paper On Iceland Glacierss

Iceland glaciers are melting very fast. According to a Glaciologist Oddur Sigurosson, Iceland glaciers has been significantly shrinking over last 20 years and this has been scientifically proven to be the result of human-cause climate change. Since 1996, most of glaciers in Iceland had retreated about 500 square kilometer. It is melting at a rate of 1.3-1.8 meters per year. With this rate, Iceland’s glaciers could loss up to 40 square kilometer of ice per year. According to a new study by of group of geologist from the University of Arizona, melting glacier in Iceland is causing a reduction of pressure on the ground beneath them which cause the land to “rebound” from the Earth crust. Land in many places of south-center Iceland are rising about
