Largest glaciers in Iceland

The glacier Vatnajökull is the largest in Iceland, covering over 8,000 square kilometers, which is equal to eight percent of Iceland's total land area. It is also the largest glacier in Western Europe. Langjökull is the country's second largest glacier, followed by Hofsjökull. Iceland's glaciers are melting rapidly due to global warming.

冰岛之巨，瓦特纳冰原，其辽阔无垠，覆盖超过八千平方公里，约占冰岛总面积的八分之一，亦为西欧之最。朗格冰原位居其后，为该国第二大冰川，其后乃霍夫斯冰原。然而，受全球变暖之影响，冰岛冰川正以惊人的速度消融。
