message: I've seen a  bbcamerica  report that some people in "Beding", "Rolwaling", have been forced to move by  flood, likely  global warming; but, they do not have the money, other resources, to go to locations that they feel would be sufficiently safe.

message: In one place you get the following information. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...This was the case in 1996, when the volcano under the Grímsvötn lakes belonging to the Vatnajökull glacier erupted, and the river Skeiðará flooded the land in front of Skaftafell National Park. The jökulhlaup reached a flow rate of 45,000m3 cubic meters per second(1), and destroyed parts of the Hringvegur (Ring Road or Iceland Road #1). ..."
And then in the same subsection next paragraph.
After the flooding, some icebergs 10 metres  high could be seen on the banks of the river where the glacier run had left them behind (see also Mýrdalsjökull). The peak water release from a lake that develops around the Grímsvötn Volcanic Crater in the center of the Vatnajökull ice cap generates flows that exceed the volume of the Mississippi River. The outbursts have occurred in 1954, 1960, 1965, 1972, 1976, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1991 and 1996. In 1996, the eruption melted  of ice and yielded an outburst of  per second at peak flow.  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reading this section of the article as it is written there it seems obvious that the flood that is mentioned in the second paragraph is the same flood that is mentioned in the first paragraph so therefore the information regarding the flood size is inconsistent and if I'm reading this right the second set of numbers are totally wrong. 
:I know that the flood peaked at night, 5th november 1996. The flood size was estimated at least 45.000 cubic metres per second possibly larger (photo showing the glacial flood/jökulflóð coming out of Vatnajökull) at the time this photo is taken the flood is "only" about 30.000m3 meters.  In the aftermath ice chunks similar to this were not an uncommon sight.
This is the first time I login and join the wiki community  I'm not sure if I'm doing right or wrong here but I am pointing out the inconsistency in numbers.  Also there are the photos I'm not sure about the copyright status of those but if they can be used they show how devastating such a flood can be.

thread_title:  Inconsistency in Examples section Iceland subsection 

message: The relationship of the Jökulhlaup and Glacial lake outburst flood articles is highly confusing. The second line of this article's lead states  "also called by its Icelandic name, Jökulhlaup", while Jökulhlaup's lead sentence is "A jökulhlaup is a glacial outburst flood". Glacial outburst flood is currently a redlink. I know nothing about this topic except that I couldn't discern if and how the two terms differed by reading the article leads.
If they are synonyms, they should be merged. If they are not synonyms, Glacial lake outburst flood shouldn't state that they are. If Jökulhlaup actually means Glacial outburst flood, then I would suggest moving it to that title, or at least creating appropriate redirects and clearly stating that Glacial lake outburst flood is a subarticle to Jökulhlaup/Glacial outburst flood. Thanks, BanyanTree 19:29, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: On a second thought, it seems like moving the jökulhlaup article to glacial outburst flood would also be a wrong thing to do. As far as I understand, a jökulhlaup is a form of glacial outburst flood since the later would also include glacial lake outburst floods. Thus it would probably be best to create an article for glacial outburst flood instead, describing jökulhlaups, glacial lake outburst floods and other phenomena if more exist.
