Peter Knight, one of the leading experts on glaciers, who works at Keele University was interested in images I shared of my recent visit. I asked him if he could hunt out some suitable images from his own visits there back in the day and he kindly sorted out quite a few for me.
Here are a few old pics @GeoBlogs but they're a bit low-res. I'll dig deeper and see what I can find. Solheimajokull in the early '90's plus a Google Street View image for contrast pic.twitter.com/dZHb234OMo

More from 1990s Solheimajokull, @GeoBlogs both with zoom-ins to help you find “me for scale”. One OF the front and one FROM the front. Far in advance of current position. #climatechange #glaciers #iceland pic.twitter.com/8DSwfVnJNK

I also came across (again) this StoryMap which had a good slider of the retreat of the glacier.
