Abstract
Islandia se localiza en el contacto de las masas atmosféricas árticas frías y subtropicales cálidas y entre la corriente oceánica fría del Este de Groenlandia y la corriente cálida de Irminger. Como consecuencia, este territorio es muy sensible a los cambios atmosféricos y oceánicos, que a lo largo del tiempo han provocado constantes y bruscos cambios en su clima y en la extensión de sus glaciares, que ocupan una parte considerable de la isla. Esta variabilidad climática condiciona su dinámica medioambiental y humana. Los últimos periodos climáticos más contrastados han sido el Máximo Térmico Holoceno (MTH) y el Neoglacial, determinados por cambios en configuración atmosférica y oceánica, y por la evolución de la actividad volcánica y la insolación...
Iceland is located in the meeting point of cold Arctic and warm subtropical air masses, and between the cold East Greenland and the warm Irminger sea currents. As a result, this territory is especially sensitive to the changes of the atmospheric and oceanic settings over time, which have triggered constant and abrupt changes of the Icelandic climate, and hence on the glaciers, which cover a significant part of the island. This climate variability conditions the environmental and human dynamics. The last most contrasting periods have been the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) and the Neoglaciation, controlled by changes of the atmospheric and oceanic setting and the evolution of the volcanic activity and insolation..
