In the next 200 years, all 400 Icelandic glaciers, which cover 11% of the island-nation, will disappear according to scientists. Okjökull glacier is the first glacier in Iceland that has been officially declared as dead due to climate change. People held an official funeral for Ok (which is short for Okjökull) and placed a memorial plaque on the site of the former glacier to send an important message to the future.
