in geology •  7 years ago 

By Strange Sounds - Sep 8, 2017 The largest glacier of Iceland is melting like an ice cream.
Giant holes as large as 1,300 feet wide and caused by volcanic eruptions have opened up in Vatnajökull.

Vatnajökull is the second largest glacier in Europe, covers 8 percent of Iceland and several volcanoes. In the last few years, the enhanced seismic activity has created several glacial floods in the area.
