The Glaciers of Iceland cover about 11% of the land area of Iceland and have a considerable impact on the country's landscape. Many Icelandic Glacier s lie above Volcano s, such as Grímsvötn and Bárðarbunga , which lie under the largest glacier, Vatnajökull . The Caldera of Grímsvötn is 100 km&2, and Bárðarbungu is 60 Km&2 . When Volcanic Activity occurs under the glacier, the resulting melt water can lead to a sudden Glacial Lake Outburst Flood known in Icelandic as jökulhlaup. The Icelandic word for ''glacier'' is ''jökull''. LARGEST GLACIERS BY SURFACE AREA SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
