Oddur founded a beautiful glacier and studied how it has been diminishing, now not even classified as a glacier and dead ice in 2014. Known to most school kids in Iceland, this particular glacier disappearing was shocking for many who grew up there. The carbon dioxide issue is the main issue that causes global warming in the atmosphere. Simple as Oddur puts it.
