At the site of the first major Icelandic glacier to disappear due to climate change, scientists are installing a memorial plaque as a message to future generations. (hereandnow)
Scientists, academics and world leaders will soon gather in Iceland to memorialize the first major Icelandic glacier to disappear due to climate change.“It didn't have enough mass of snow and ice in order to be able to crawl along the ground which is required of a glacier to be able to move under its own weight,” saysNow, scientists are installing a memorial plaque on the barren ground as a message to future generations.
Howe says the plaque’s direct messaging was intentional. The team of researchers wanted to use the glacier’s passing as a call to climate action. “Well that's a good question because actually this will be the first time that the glaciologist who declared Ok glacier — Okjökull — to no longer be a glacier will be going up on top of the mountain to see if there is any glacial remnant ice remaining. His name is Oddur Sigurðsson and he was the scientist who found that Ok was no longer able to move under its own weight.
