Time-lapse video shows the shrinking Icelandic glacier

Time-lapse footage has captured the speed at which centuries-old ice is melting from a glacier in Iceland.

The Breiðamerkurjökull glacier is located in the Vatnajökull National Park, about 380 km from the state capital Reykjavik.

The video was produced over a period of six weeks by Dr. Kieran Baxter of the University of Dundee, who estimates that "maybe several tens of meters of recession" occurred during this period.
