We just launched an English version of our glacier map site https://icelandicglaciers.is
For all you #gischat and #glacier people, let’s run through the main features and my favorites

Glacier surface topography is most visible during low solar angle acquisitions from satellites. Yesterday’s #sentinel2 image shows all three main calderas in Vatnajökull glacier very well, including all the associated cauldrons.

In collaboration with @Haskoli_Islands and @Vedurstofan we measure the melting and or increase in ice of the Icelandic glaciers every year. Our Project Manager Andri Gunnarsson, with Development of Hydropower shared these beautiful pictures with us from this fall.
