"Fresh" global warming fears as glaciers melt at "alarming" rate
Europe's largest glacier, Iceland's Vatnajokull, is melting because of rising temperatures and reduced snow fall, Sky News said.
The glacier currently covers an area of 8,000 square kilometres and at its deepest point is more than 900 metres thick.
But according to glaciologists, the glacier is now melting at a rate of a metre a year, and climate change could quicken this process further.
