“Ok (Okjokull) is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path,” said the inscription on the plaque written by Icelandic author Andri Snaer Magnason.

Eh, I wonder how many of these glaciers were around when the last interglacial period reached its temperature maximum?

Makes me think the GSM cold weather is coming. God seems to have a sense of humor when people get too full of themselves.

Believe it or not

When the Vikings came to this remote island in the North Atlantic Ocean the land was extensively forested. Around 1100 years ago the climate was warmer than it is now, and the glaciers were smaller than they are at the present time, even though there has been accelerating melting of the Icelandic glaciers for many decades. In even older times those glaciers were far smaller, the remains of a massive 3000-year-old forest have been discovered under Breiðamerkurjökull, a glacier tongue of Vatnajökull. So, there is now evidence that Iceland was even more heavily forested in older pre-settlement times than people had thought. Fossils, place names, the remnants of charcoal and climate modeling suggest that 25% to 40% of Iceland was forested when the Vikings came. In the light of new evidence, this figure should be raised considerably higher when referring to preceding millenniums.

How about a plaque memorializing the trees that once grew in Iceland, but were all cut down by their Norse ancestors.

New Glacier Forming in California?

Within the Hope Valley as of two days ago, there was rumored to be a canyon with a remaining 40 foot depth of snow. Hope Valley is near Kirkwood Ski resort in California.
