During 1997-2000 Dyngjujökull, one of the major outlet glaciers of the main Icelandic ice cap Vatnajökull, surged. This event was captured by ERS 1 and 2 satellites flying in tandem mode, enabling the use of InSAR to monitor the motion of the glacier. Since a major limitation of InSAR is its sensiti...
