Drangajökull
Drangajökull is the northernmost glacier of Iceland, occupying the southern foothills of the Hornstrandir peninsula in the Westfjords region. It covers approximately 150 km of ice—an average thinning of 8.0 metres—since around 1990, even as its surge-type outlet glaciers periodically advance.| Tap on a place to explore it |
