I don’t know if it will provoke the kind of backlash that occurred when Pluto was stripped of its planet status, but according to an Icelandic glaciologist, Okj\u00f6kull is no longer a j\u00f6kull \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Okj\u00f6kull, on the mountain of the same name, is no longer considered to be a glacier in the estimation of glaciologist Oddur Sigurdsson. Ok<\/a> becomes the first famous glacier in the country to lose that title.<\/em><\/p>\n

The past six months have been a guessing game about Ok, this small but well-known glacier, no longer to be considered a glacier among glaciers. A few days ago program directors for Landinn accompanied glaciologist Oddur Sigurdsson to Ok so he could determine whether Ok could be considered a glacier or not.<\/em><\/p>\n

Landinn<\/a> is a television program on R\u00daV that you can watch online, check it out! According to the dictionary landi<\/strong> has the meaning of fellow countryman<\/em>, as well as moonshine<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n

Glaciers need to meet certain requirements. “First and foremost they need to be thick enough to move under their own weight, and in order to do that they need to be 40 or 50 meters thick, which this glacier doesn’t even approach,” says Oddur.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
