List of glaciers in Iceland

Glaciers can both grow in size and regress depending upon several factors of which climate and precipitation in the glaciers catchment are the most important. About 7,000 years ago, the Pleistocene ice from the last Ice Age over Iceland disappeared almost entirely, so the current glaciers in Iceland are not that old. The glaciers are relevant enough in Icelandic geography that the four largest are represented blank in most of the maps of the administrative divisions of Iceland smaller than the regions. Iceland is losing ice due to climate change. In 2008 its glaciers still covered 11% of the land area of the country, at about out of the total area of . this was down to 10%. Okjökull in Borgarfjörður, West Iceland, has lost its glacier title and is now simply known as Ok, losing the Icelandic word for glacier, jökull, as a suffix. In order to fit the criteria glaciers need to be thick enough to sink and move under their own weight, which any ice remaining of Okjökull can not do. Okjökull is the first Icelandic glacier to lose this title in an official manner, but tens of smaller glaciers have disappeared up to 2019. ==Largest glaciers by surface area==

These 13 largest glaciers had, at slightly different times around the year 2000, an aggregate area of (out of about for all glaciers of Iceland). The total glacial area in 2019 was down to , and had decreased by more than since the end of the 19th century. == Glaciers ==

The list of glaciers below and their characteristics is incomplete. Many of the smaller glaciers that are presently only glacier remnants have not been added to the list. There are for example over 170 glaciers on the Tröllaskagi peninsula, ==See also==
