List of glaciers in Iceland

Description

The glaciers and ice caps of Iceland covered 11% of the land area of the country, up to about 2008. As of 2019 this was down to 10%. They have a considerable impact on its landscape and meteorology. Glaciers are also contributing to the Icelandic economy, with a tourist market that includes glacier trips on snowmobiles and glacier hiking tours. However, the recent loss of ice due to climate change is an increasing concern in Icelandic society.
