Jøkullaup

En jøkullaup (fra islansk: jökulhlaup) er et plutselig utslipp av stor mengde vann fra under en isbre, som plutselig oversvømmer dalfører nedstrøms for breen. De vanligste jøkullaupene er et resultat av svært intensiv sommersmeltning, ofte som følge av store mengder regnvann som faller på overflaten av breen.
