Glacier melt

Glacier melt

Hundreds of tiny streams caused by glacier melt, merge together in the southern region of Iceland to form an outlet into the North Atlantic Ocean. Rising lava, steam vents, or newly opened hot springs can all cause this rapid ice melt, leading to a sizable release of water that picks up sediment as it flows down from the glaciers.
