Okjokull dead glacier in 219, Iceland, satellite image. Okjokull is the patches of thin ice and meltwater (blue) at left centre. In 1901 it was estimated that Okjokull covered an area of around 38 square kilometres. As the world warmed during the 20th century, the glacier was reduced by melting, and in 2014 it was declared dead as it no longer had enough mass to flow. Image obtained by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 on 1st August 2019. For an image of the glacier in 1986 see C047/1957. | |
