Iceland s glaciers lose 750km2 in 20 years | Borneo Bulletin Online

June 2, 2021 REYKJAVIK (AFP) – Iceland’s glaciers have lost around 750 square kilometres, or seven per cent of their surface, since the turn of the millennium due to global warming, a study published on Monday showed. The glaciers, which cover more than 10 per cent of the country’s land mass, shrank in 2019 to 10,400 square kilometres, the study in the Icelandic scientific journal Jokull said. Since 1890, the land covered by glaciers has decreased by almost 2,200 square kilometres, or 18 per cent. But almost a third of this decline has occurred since 2000, according to the recent calculations by glaciologists, geologists and geophysicists. Experts have previously warned that Iceland’s glaciers are at risk of disappearing entirely by 2200.
