They aren't. The Breidamerkurjökull,has receded by as much as 2 km since 1973. All but one of the Vatnajokull outlet glaciers (40 named glaciers) are receding .
Iceland is known as the Land of Fire and Ice because it has a combination of active volcanoes and glaciers. The geothermal activity in Iceland results in geysers and hot springs, while its glaciers cover a significant portion of the country.

Glaciers can be found in countries like Norway, Iceland, Canada, the United States (Alaska), and New Zealand.
Advancing glaciers are glaciers that are moving forward and expanding, while retreating glaciers are glaciers that are melting and shrinking. Stationary glaciers are glaciers that are not currently advancing or retreating, maintaining a relatively stable position.
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).
Yes
Iceland.
Iceland is home to approximately 400 glaciers, varying in size and type. The largest glacier is Vatnajökull, which covers around 8% of the country's land area. Other notable glaciers include Langjökull, Hofsjökull, and Mýrdalsjökull. These glaciers play a crucial role in Iceland's landscape and ecosystem.
There are mostly Glaciers in Iceland (A total of 11%), the largest being Vatnajokull. Smaller glaciers may include * Langjokull * Hofsjokull * Mirdalsjokull

Iceland has its ups and its downs but overall it is a beautiful country with plenty of amazing glaciers and mountain ranges.
Glaciers can be found in countries like Norway, Iceland, Canada, the United States (Alaska), and New Zealand.
Iceland is known for having glaciers, but it is an island made from the continual eruptions of volcanos. About every 5 years, an eruption occurs adding to the land mass, creating geysers, and hot springs, and providing a great contrast with the glaciers nearby.
There are lots of volcanic landforms, as Iceland was created by volcanoes. Lots of igneous rocks, geothermal pools, volcanoes, as well as glaciers.
