glacier bay national park
From what I've read recently, Glacier melt activity is happening all over/around the Earth; the Arctic Glaciers are receeding, the Antarctic Glaciers are receeding, the Glaciers in Glacier National Park in the US are almost gone, and the Glaciers in the Alps are receeding.
The number is debated but was recently 24. All of them are shrinking and will disappear by 2030.
No, Iceland is not made completely out of ice. It is an actual island, with rock and soil, and glaciers on top. It also has some active volcanoes (which have been causing trouble recently; I'm sure there are people who would prefer for Iceland to be made entirely of ice).

Extensive areas of the northern hemisphere were covered by glaciers most recently in the Pleistocene Epoch, with periods of glaciation starting around 1.8 million years ago. The most recent period of glaciation ended around 10,000 years ago.
No, it isn't. There are more than that, and recently the numbers have been rising. Worldwide, between 15,000 and 40,000 icebergs are calved from glaciers each year, and although some of Greenland's iceburgs are small, they are more abundant than that. :)
