Mýrdalsjökull is the fourth largest Icelandic ice cap (∼480 km² in 2019), located in the South of Iceland. Until now, the majority of mass balance studies in Iceland have been centered on the three main Icelandic ice caps. Thus, mass balance estimates of Mýrdalsjökull are scarce. The untapped SPOT5...
