Sólheimajökull IV
The Sólheimajökull glacier tongue extends from the great Mýrdalsjökull glacier, down to the sandy plains of the Icelandic south coast.
Regular measurements have been made of the glacier snout since the 1930s. In 2010 it was 1km shorter than in 1930 and it was 120 to 150m thinner than in 1960. If the climate continues to warm, there is a possibility that the glacier will have virtually disappeared in 100 to 200 years
