where is the largest glacier mass in europe located and what is the name of the glacier
List of glaciers The majority of Europe's glaciers are found in the Alps, Caucasus and the Scandinavian Mountains (mostly Norway) as well as in Iceland. Iceland has the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull glacier, that covers between 8,100-8,300 km² in area and 3,100 km³ in volume. Norway alone has more than 2500 glaciers (including very small ones) covering an estimated 1% of mainland Norway's surface area. Several of mainland Europe's biggest glaciers are found here including; Jostedalsbreen(the largest in mainland Europe at 487 km2), Vestre Svartisen(221 km2), Søndre Folgefonna(168 km2) and Østre Svartisen(148 km2). The two Svartisen glaciers used to be one connected entity during the Little Ice Age but has since separated.[8][9]
Eyjafjallajökull Eyjafjallajökull (pronounced [ˈeiːjaˌfjatl̥aˌjœːkʏtl̥]; English Island Mountain Glacier,[2] is one of the smaller ice caps of Iceland, north of Skógar and west of Mýrdalsjökull. The ice cap covers the caldera of a volcano with a summit elevation of 1,651 metres (5,417 ft). The volcano has erupted relatively frequently since the last glacial period, most recently in 2010.[3][4]
