Short summary
We studied groundwater near outlet glaciers of the main Icelandic ice cap. We acquired new data in the field. Two distinct groundwater compartments and their characteristics are identified. We demonstrate the glacial melt recharge impact on the groundwater dynamic. Knowing groundwater systems in a glacial context is crucial to forecast the evolution under climate change of water resources and of potential flood and landslide hazards.
