Vatnajokull Glacier, Iceland. Has an area of 8,100 km², This is the largest ice cap Vatnajökull, by volume (3,100 km³) and second largest ( Austfonna is First in Nordaustlandet, Svalbard) in area. It became a part of the Vatnajökull National Park on 7 June 2008. The estimated average thickness of the ice is 400 m, with a maximum thickness of 1,000 m.
This Ice cap came across to me as a remarkably one of the most interesting in the world today. The size of it is extensive, and would love a few natural and unique ice caps in England.
