There are aspects of this that had never occurred to me, and I bet most of you will be surprised as well. It's not just Iceland, of course, but that's the example being discussed here.
Glaciers & Gravity + Other Juicy Tidbits... |

Interesting stuff!
I was well aware of the "rebound" that can occur when the weight of an ice mass is removed, but had not thought that the "gravity effect" would be so large. |

| this is why I weep to the gods of foolishness when people complain about gas prices being too high. |

Me too. More or less every day, though some days I howl instead... |

Ditto: knew about rebound, had no clue re: gravitational attraction of very large glaciers... |

| Thanks for posting this. I learned a lot from it. The idea of weight rebound was new to me. The gravitational effect blew my mind a bit. |

yes for me it shows how humans have emotional and intuitive ideas about math that don't add up, so to speak. It does make sense that a country sized mass of ice would have a significant gravitational pull, but it never occurred to me to consider it. |
