Titre : Iceland Glacier Recession (1997-2000)

Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)

Iceland Glacier Recession 1997 to 2000. This animation is a close up zoom into largest area of glacier recesion at the Breidamerkurjokull glacier in Iceland. The Breidamerkurjokull glacier in Iceland has been measured by the satellite to be receding since 1973. In 1997, the satellite took several other images of the glacier. It was thought by some glacierologists that this particular glacier was receding quicker in the late 1990s than it did in the late 1980s or 1970s. After careful analysis Goddard's Glacierologist, Dorothy Hall, concluded that the recession from 1997 to 2000 occurs at a similar rate to the recession between 1973 and 2000. It is extremely controversial whether or not this recession is caused by global warming,
