Abstract
The Icelandic Glaciological Society received reports on approximately 50 measurements sites of glacier front variations in the autumn of 2019. Glacier retreat was observed at 80% of survey sites whereas advances where reported from 4 sites. The warm summer led to fewer snow-covered glacier margins, and more successful surveys. As in recent years the proglacial lakes make terminus measurements more difficult, although the laser rangefinder works well.
