What’s Left When the Glacier Retreats?

Glaciated ridges tower over Route 1 and the Vatnsskarð mountain pass (west of Varmalið) in Iceland. WHOI students and scientists visited the region in June 2006 as the capstone on a semester-long Geodynamics program to study ice and its effects on the planet.
