and Drangajökull ice
caps.
All ice
caps in Iceland have
been retreating rapidly and losing volume since 1995, but in 2015 the Hofsjökull ice
cap in the
central highlands displayed positive mass
balance. The equilibrium line
altitude on the ice
cap moved to a location 150 - 200
below the long-term
average. This
change is due to high precipitation in the winter of 2014 - 2015 and low
ablation
