And how come you lay in the dreamt to me three montage?

A from a kirtner, twir, or two calva,

from Yolante de Umoosa,

sems giftilletum,

third-graun rechreinum.

You know in Iceland we think the glaciers are living beings because it moves and because it changes.

You know it changes colours and it makes sounds and the glacier bears children so to say the icebergs that it emits are sort of a birth.

Those living beings, Iceland's glaciers, are dying.

Poet and novelist Stanun Sigurdardot Dotier remembers the glaciers of her childhood.

I think as a child about how privileged I was to stay in the countryside in the summertime

and I had the privilege of taking the cows to their grazing field each morning and I walked with a view to the glacier for about half an hour each morning.

And I think I was in paradise.

What was the name of the glacier where you grew up?

The name of the glacier is Vatna Yagut, and it is the largest glacier in Europe,

and of course it fills me with sadness,

just to think that this simple of eternity is so rapidly dissolving, I feel that the melting of the glaciers in Iceland radically change our consciousness in fact.

You understand the name of the country is of course Iceland, Iceland. So what should we call it when the ice has left us?

Iceland's glaciers are melting at unprecedented speed.

Scientists say that at this rate they'll all be gone 200 years from now.

I've come to Iceland to find out what that means for the people who live here

who see these icy giants from their bedroom windows, study them, work

with them, or barely notice them.
