Post-little ice age glacial geomorphology of contrasting topographic settings at Skálafellsjökull, southeast Iceland
Glacial geomorphological mapping from the southern margin of Skálafellsjökull, southeast Iceland, depicts a topographically diverse mountainside, influencing glacier dynamics, landform formation and glacier retreat since the Little Ice Age maximum in ∼1890. The glacial landforms present are typical...
