Iceland got the name Iceland because when Hrafna-Flóki, the man who named it, saw a bay full of sea ice once he named it Iceland. Not because the land was full of ice. Iceland doesn't even have that much snow in the winter. I don't believe that the glaciers will melt totally, they have gotten smaller but that's just an era. Then it will get colder and they will grow again.

Well no offence to the guy but Steven Hawking is an idiot. As a Harvard student I don't admire him, and I don't even care for him as his so called "facts" are nothing but junk.
By the way, Iceland is not ice... So it can't really melt...
Don't worry, mankind shall thrive!

Sorry, but Iceland cannot melt. It's not like just because it's called Iceland, it's made out of ice or something.
Please...

Really? How much of Iceland's land mass is going to melt, and just how will all of that soil and rock be turned into liquid?

Just because Steve Hawking says so?

Iceland and Greenland were named by the Norseman to confuse others, it obviously has worked.

Hmmm... Hawking usually sticks to cosmology and theoretic physics... Could you give a source to this claim?

Yeah, but what does he know.
He's only a brilliant Nobel-prize winning scientist with multiple graduate degrees. Why should we believe his calculations.
