Ancient glacier surges in Iceland reveal modern climate change impacts.
A new map of the Eyjabakkajokull area in Iceland shows different landforms created by glaciers. The map was made using aerial photos and fieldwork. The landforms include streamlined shapes under the ice, moraines made of ice, and ridges formed by glacier movements. The glacier at Eyjabakkajokull has surged multiple times in the past 2200 years, creating these distinct landforms. This area can help us understand how glaciers behaved in the past.
