Iceland Reports Outburst Flood at Its Biggest Glacier.

A glacial outburst flood has been reported at Iceland's Vatnajokull glacier, caused by geothermal heat from the Grimsvotn volcano beneath the ice cap. These outbursts have occurred annually since 2021, with no volcanic eruptions following. The Icelandic Met Office expects no damage to the area's infrastructure, and the water flow is estimated to peak by the end of the week. The Grimsvotn volcano last erupted in 2011, with a history of around 20 eruptions in the last 200 years. [Extracted from the article]
