The ICE in ICEland

We finally found the ice. We went out east and hit the glaciers. Approximately 10 % of Iceland is covered by Glaciers. They are currently shrinking. But, that is normal. It seems that Iceland has had 37 periods of known glaciation. They shrink and swell. This particular area has been very active. In 1996, a volcano below the glacier erupted violently, causing massive melting and flooding.
