Synopsis "Jkulsrln"

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jkulsrln is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajkull between Skaftafell National Park and Hfn. Appearing first only in 1934-1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km in 1975 to at least 18 km today because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth of 200 m, Jkulsrln is now probably the second deepest lake in Iceland. Jkulsrln is separated from the sea by only a short distance, and the combined action of the glacier, the river that empties from the lake, and the ocean may eventually transform it into an inlet of the sea. There are plans to prevent this from happening, since the only road in the area passes over the narrow isthmus. It is not far from the Icelandic Ring Road, and buses travelling between Hfn and Reykjavk usually stop there. The lake is filled with icebergs, which are calving off the Breiamerkurjkull glacier.
