Jökull: The Icelandic Journal of Earth Sciences (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈjœːkʏtl̥]) is an annual peer-reviewed scientific journal published jointly by the Iceland Glaciological Society [is] and the Geoscience Society of Iceland. The journal covers all aspects of earth sciences in relation to Iceland, including meteorology, oceanography, petrology, and geothermal research. The editor-in-chief is Bryndís Brandsdóttir. It has been classified as "Level 1" journal in the Norwegian Scientific Index.[1]

It was founded in 1950 by Icelandic meteorologist Jón Eyþórsson, who served as its editor until his death in 1968, publishing regular measurements of glacial margins and drift ice in Jökull.[2] These reports have continued, creating a valuable resource for climate scientists.[3]

Jökull has been a victim of journal hijacking.[4]
