This is now deepest lake in Iceland, thanks to melting glaciers
2015-10-05 16:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: This gorgeous but frigid scene is Jökulsárlón, perhaps the most famous lake in Iceland. Located at the head of the Breiamerkurjökull glacier, the lake first appeared only in 1934-1935. Since then, it has continued to grow at varying rates based on the speed of glacier melt. Only a handful of years ago, it became the deepest lake in Iceland at over 814 feet deep. The floating icebergs that have calved from the glacier are a big tourist and photographer attraction, and a variety of companies...

Indo-Asian News Service: Alpine glaciers in Italy have lost an estimated 40 per cent of their area over the last three decades, a recent report released by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has said. "The situation of glaciers on the Italian side of the Alps is very worrying," Xinhua news agency on Friday quoted Gianfranco Bologna, scientific director of WWF-Italy and co-author of the report as saying. The Hot Ice report was unveiled earlier this week, ahead of a crucial United Nations Climate Change Conference due to be held...

As Ice Age ended, greenhouse gas rise was lead factor in melting of Earth's glaciers
2015-08-21 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] A fresh look at some old rocks has solved a crucial mystery of the last Ice Age, yielding an important new finding that connects to the global retreat of glaciers caused by climate change today, according to a new study by a team of climate scientists. For decades, researchers examining the glacial meltdown that ended 11,000 years ago took into account a number of contributing factors, particularly regional influences such as solar radiation, ice sheets and ocean curre…
One of Worlds Fastest Melting Glaciers May Have Lost Largest Chunk of Ice Recorded History
