hy various factors. The distance of flow of
Skálm from the glacier to the bridge where
samples were taken is approx. 16.5 kilometers
but the distance to the bridge over Fúlilcekur
is 5.5 kilometers. The water in Skálm is there-
fore likely to have a better chance to approach
solutions equilibrium with suspended matter,
resulting in increased total dissolved load with
