@WhiteHouse Impious idiot! Poor USA

@subfossilguy Pasterze with Grossglockner. Happy 2024!

@micROCKScopica sembra perfetto !!

Alpine glaciers are #melting at record speed!! One extreme year follows another. The Swiss Academy of Sciences reported that a total of 10% of the ice volume disappeared in only two years. Here aerial view of the Hüfifirn, #Switzerland.

@plattner_lukas I checked it again (including Glacier de Bionnassay)

Aerial photo of Miage Glacier, Mont Blanc Massif, Italy.
The ice tongue carries masses of debris. It is 10 km long – the longest glacier in Italy. The creeping-down ice comprises the altitude difference of 1770 m.

Aerial view of Grand Prismatic Spring, #yellowstone N.P. The water of this hot spring has 80 degrees Celsius, its basin has a diameter of 80 meters and it is about 40 meters deep.

Aerial view of Dent de Morcles, #Switzerland . The huge folds in the flank of the 2969 m high Dent de Morcles is the most impressive witness to the collision between Africa and Europe.

Intensive folding of the foliation on Gorner Glacier, #Switzerland (aerial view). Note climbers on the ice.

Aerial of the Lardana massif in the #Pyrenees, Spain. A unique location for all those, who like structural geology, #tectonics (with plenty of folds, faults). It is the result of two orogenies.

Aerial view of Barnard Glacier, #Alaska.
The Barnard Glacier widens with every ice
river that flows out of one of the side valleys
– and the number of moraines, the bands of
debris on the mass of ice, increases.

@subfossilguy Might be interesting: I flew to the head of the RA in July 2021 - quite obvious permafrost ice. Due to small rockfalls the face of the scar was quite ”fresh".

[Bernhard Edmaier @EdmaierAerials]

@subfossilguy Impressive !!

Aerial views of Vadret da Tschierva, #Bernina Group (#Switzerland ) from 2003 and 2021. Little Ice Age extent is indicated by the impressive lateral moraines.

Even in the High Arctic region on the east coast of #Greenland the #glaciers are receding dramatically, as here at King Oscar Fjord (aerial view).

Aerial image from Ferdenrothorn, #Switzerland
The huge folds in the flank of this mountain are impressive witnesses of the collision between Africa and Europe. Currently on display at MMM Firmian, #Bozen

Huge collapse structure in the thinning tongue of Forni Glacier, Ortler Group, Italy (note mountaineers below crater). From my new book ”AlpenEis" (Rother)

@subfossilguy @IGE_Grenoble @creamontblanc Made an aerial shot of MdG from the same position in 2021. Might be interesting..? Definitely a dramatic loss
