The article "Land of Fire and Ice" in Faces magazine explores the unique geological wonders of Iceland, highlighting its volcanic activity and glaciers. Iceland sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, with hot rock from Earth's mantle creating a constant flow of magma, leading to frequent volcanic eruptions. The country also boasts numerous hot springs, geysers, and glaciers, but the glaciers are rapidly retreating, impacting Iceland's environment and potentially increasing volcanic activity. Scientists predict that glaciers may disappear within the next 150 to 200 years, with significant global implications. [Extracted from the article] |
