Gurglerferner (2026)

Beautifully rich textures and structures, emphasized by the hard light and created by glacial abrasion of this once great (and still utterly majestic) glacier flowing directly from the central Alpine divide. If you squint you can see a faint path zigzagging up the exposed & plucked bedrock near the center bottom... Like the Vernagtferner in a neighboring valley, this glacier too has caused ice lakes to form several times over the past centuries, occasionally ending in GLOFs (glacial outflow floods) causing widespread destruction in the valleys below...

🧊 ICYMI: When an #iceberg splits apart, giant slabs of blue #ice collapse into the #sea, triggering fractures that send #waves across the surrounding #water.

Jour 4 : Prise en voyage

Si « en voyage » signifie loin du domicile, il faut que je remonte au moins de 12 ans, dernière fois que j'ai mis les pieds (option roues dans le cas présent et unique) dans un aéroport, trop galère.
Pour la photo, c'était le 27 août 2008, au #Groenland nord-est dans #Scoresbysund et plus précisément dans Ø fjord, on est à Bjørn Øer (îles de l'ours), archipel où l'on mouillera pour la nuit.
groenland-nordest.en-photo.fr/… pour plus de photos de ce voyage, sans doute mon préféré de tous.

McGinnis Peak in the Alaska Range towers over the Black Rapids Glacier. Freshly covered ice foliation, likely from sedimentary stratification in the accumulation area, creates a rippled surface in the light.

⛺️ NEW: #Everest Base Camp becomes a temporary settlement of about 1,600 tents on the #Khumbu Glacier each #spring for roughly 50 days.

Heat from burned fuel and warm urine contributes to local #glacier melt, with fuel responsible for about 94% of the modeled human-caused #warming. Surface temps there are rising faster than in surrounding glacier areas, and researchers suggest the camp could be relocated.

"In the Pakistan-administered...Kashmir region...communities are turning to the Indigenous practice of glacier grafting, known locally as Gang Khswa, to combat water scarcity and adapt in the face of climate change."

I know the Trisuli valley a little. And we've seen these kinds of outburst floods in the Himalayas before, though not this big. That valley is an ancient trade route- the way comes from the Newar city-states (now the Kathmandu conurbation), to Nuwakot on the Trisuli, along up past Betravati to Kyirong, and then on to other parts of Tibet. There were dozens of villages, monasteries, shrines, and markets along there, thousands of years of settlements and rituals and fields and forests.

Sometimes it feels like a slow process - the butterflies diminish year on year, the sea takes away a bit more of the golf course; and sometimes the actual speed of change is made horribly clear.

#ClimateDiary #Nepal #Glacier


#ClimateDiary #Nepal #Glacier ⬆️. A whole world of kinship, livelihoods, history - destroyed in an instant by climate change (& hostile infrastructure)

“The flood did not only take the village. It took the road to the district headquarters, and with it, the road to the rest of the country. The market that fed us is gone . The fields we planted are gone. And even the grain that families still have stored at home is grain they can no longer mill into rice or flour, because the mills are gone too.”


#ClimateDiary I watched my village disappear in an instant.

“When I finally reached someone — an elder brother’s house — it was his wife who answered. “There’s nothing left in the village,” she said simply. “Most of the people are gone.”

I couldn’t make myself believe it. Sole and Tupche sit nearly a hundred metres above the riverbed. No flood in living memory — in centuries, as far as anyone knew — had ever reached that high.” #Nepal #Glacier

Ice cliffs on the Gabriel Icefall, with three of us at the base for scale. This was one stop on a long day on the Gulkana Glacier last weekend. I wrote up the trip with a lot of photos and video, including five-year repeat photography showing a big change on a tributary.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧊🦠 Ötzi the Iceman, frozen for more than 5,000 years after his death, turns out to be carrying more than the #history books expected. Thanks to the #mummy’s cool, damp storage, he's a living community of tiny organisms, many of which are #microbes that lived on him from the very beginning of his long journey through the #ice.

The front face of the Columbia Glacier, a wall of ice rising straight out of Prince William Sound. The Columbia has retreated more than 12 miles since the early 1980s, one of the fastest tidewater retreats on the planet.

Throwback to a month ago for #WaterfallWednesday... Three hours earlier we were ~800 meters higher up, just below the summit of that peak in the background and the near the beginning of this ravine...

With the next heatwave moving in this week, the great melting of these glaciers will accelerate again... 😢

Above the sides of the current #glacier, the glacier’s elevation in 1870 is clearly visible at the vegetation line. Since then, it has lost over 100 meters in thickness and 2.5 km in length — and continues to retreat fast.

@rahmstorf @PIK_climate Interesting:
"The extra energy trapped in the system seems to be the result of the planet reflecting less sunlight back to space. [..] the bigger concern is that reflective, low-lying clouds may be going missing.

The energy imbalance “suggests that the models may also be under-predicting future warming,” said #PhilDuffy, chief scientist of #SparkClimateSolutions, a nonprofit that identifies and helps limit #climate risks."

Also interesting: I underestimated the part with the water expansion by heat

New at my Patreon... Standing atop the Franz Josef Glacier, I was exhilarated. Partly because it was a remarkable environment, but partly because it seemed so absurd to be there at all! Mortals weren't destined to ascend the playground of the gods as we had done, but modern technology had brought us there anyway:
