The snowfall pattern is changing and then the melting of the glacier is changing.

High greenhouse gas emissions from human activity cause global temperatures to rise, melting ice sheets and glaciers, which in turn increases the volume of water in the ocean — encroaching on shorelines around the world.

Its latest State of the Climate report also finds that our oceans are heating up rapidly and glacier melt is accelerating.

“Iceland is essentially one of the best places in the world to study this … because we have both volcanism and glaciers,” volcanologist Michelle Parks of the Icelandic Meteorological Office told Reuters.

"The sixth schedule gives locals not just a right but a responsibility to conserve their climate, forests, rivers and glaciers," he told reporters.
