are useful for many different areas of research and also practical uses, the hydropower sector, for tourism and search and rescue on glaciers.
The IMO and the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland have been working on mapping the ice with airborne laser measurement (LiDAR) since 2008. By the summer of 2012 all glaciers larger than 10 km² had been measured, and the analysis
