"Iceland has marked its first-ever loss of a glacier to climate change
as scientists warn that hundreds of other ice sheets on the subarctic
island risk the same fate.

As the world recently marked the warmest July ever on record, a bronze
plaque was mounted on a bare rock in a ceremony on the barren terrain
once covered by the Okjökull glacier in western Iceland."

Cheers,
