Iceland's Glaciers

Iceland’s glaciers and ice-caps provide us with some wonderful landscapes and leave a lasting impression in the minds of all our visitors. They are, of course, transient landscapes coming and going with prevailing climatic conditions. The names people have given to the glaciers is an interesting study in its own right and a new book published by the US Geological Survey summarises their histories.

You can read more about the book here and it’s even possible to download a PDF version to read on your computer.

The authors have done a commendable job and all interested in the ‘ice’ of Iceland will enjoy browsing this work.
