Images reveal Iceland's glacier melt | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

A photography project has highlighted the extent of ice loss from Iceland’s largest glaciers.  A team from Scotland and Iceland compared photographs taken in the 1980s with present-day drone images. They focused on the south side of the Vatnajökull ice cap, which covers about 7,700sq km of land.

Dr Kieran Baxter, from the University of Dundee, said: "We saw a staggering difference in a very short amount of time."
