Editor’s note: Climate warming, melting glaciers, I believe that everyone will not be unfamiliar, but what does it mean for Iceland, which intuitively feels the melting of glaciers? The problem of melting glaciers for other countries is sea level rise, but for Iceland it is facing the problem of increasing land area, and thus the changing geographical landscape and climate is a very urgent situation facing Iceland. problem. What have they taken at the forefront of melting glaciers? What can we learn from it? The article was compiled from the New York Times, author Liz Alderman, original title “What Worries Iceland? A World Without Ice. It Is Preparing.”
To say how long the Adalsteinn Ingólfsson family has been engaged in fishing business, and it will take at least two more generations from him. Skinney-Thinganes, founded by their family, is Iceland’s largest fishing company and Ingólfsson currently holds the company’s CEO position. Since joining the family company, he has been paying close attention to the Vatnajökull (Vastnajökull, located near the town of Hofen in southern Iceland, the largest glaciers in Iceland and Europe, ranking third in the world, second only to Antarctic glaciers and Greenland glaciers). The progress. The rise in temperatures has led to a significant reduction in the number of fish species they can capture. The shrinking of the ice is also a new challenge for Icelandic companies and foreign companies in Iceland.
Ingólfsson said: “Now our largest fishing trawls are more difficult to get in and out of the port than ever. If there is a problem with the weather, the port will be completely closed.”
Skinney-Thinganes’ trawler can only enter and exit the port during high tide, and the company’s business is affected.
The warming of the climate is not only affected by the town of Hoffen. The weight of the Vatna glaciers is weakened, the fjord is depleted, and underground sediments are transferred, causing distortions in the water pipes of the town. by
