Heute ist Sommerbeginn und ein guter Tag um über das Klima zu sprechen.
Zum Beispiel für #Innsbruck.
▪️Jedes Jahr seit 1777 steht für ein Jahr,
▪️farblich markiert mit der Abweichung zum Klimamittel 1961-90.
▪️Die warmen Jahre nehmen deutlich zu.

@alpen_wetter Exactly 😛

[Marie Schroeder @MarieCryo]

Finally some snow again! Winter is not over yet 🤞🏼

[Clemens TZ @alpen_wetter]

Eines der stärksten Schneefallereignisse in diesem #Winter auf der Seegrube. 40 cm Neuschnee an einem Tag. Einige Wege wegen Lawinengefahr gesperrt!

Hallo Sommerzeit 😉😂

We're more than half-way through the winter, and the #snow cover on Swiss #glaciers is still strongly below average. The track ressembles the extreme last year quite a bit...

[Matthias Huss @matthias_huss]

Would you still call #glacier ice loss in 2022 "extreme"? It's rather a devastating hurricane.
Mass change is so far beyond historical variability (1961-2021) that - statistically - it's virtually impossible. However, we should get used to the impossible in the #ClimateCrisis !

[Marie Schroeder @MarieCryo]

Crevasse situation is changing. Stay safe when traveling on glaciers, especially now in the transition to winter!
We also observed lots of new crevasses on Hintereisferner during last weeks field work!

[Matthias Huss @matthias_huss]

Two views from #Wildstrubel summit exactly 1 year apart. Check out how the extreme summer of 2022 changed the crevasse situation!
While it was an enjoyable walk over the #glacier in 2021, there's a labyrinth of crevasses now - the #ClimateCrisis also alters mountaineering hazards

[Marie Schroeder @MarieCryo]

First snow on Nordkette and also Hintereisferner got a bit of a white coat 🥳

[Marie Schroeder @MarieCryo]

Glaciers disappearing one after another...
Sadly this is how the future looks like 😪

[Matthias Huss @matthias_huss]

It was an emotional moment for me yesterday up at "my" Pizol #Glacier. The final Good Bye, amidst the melancholic fog, together with 30 supporters of @KlimaschutzCH
I picked up my last measurement pole (did not survive the summer of course) from a 20x20m ice patch... Farewell!

@realglacier 8m was the deepest we drilled, was also the maximum of the drill cable:)

Yesterday reading and drilling new ablation stakes on Kesselwandferner with @prinzofice

[Rainer Prinz @prinzofice]

Hintereisferner area averaged surface height change: 2003 record beaten on Aug 25th. 5% volume loss in one summer.

[Rainer Prinz @prinzofice]

All winter snow has melted on #hintereisferner, even on highest elevation. There the glaciers continue their disintegration and rock falls make work a bit scary

[Xavier Fettweis @xavierfettweis]

1/3 The current surface melt anomaly over the Svalbard ice caps is incredible with a cumulated melt from the beginning of this summer 2 times larger than previous records!! Such positive anomaly is even statistically unlikely ... without global warming. Averaged from ...

[Jan Beutel @jan_beutel]

In the last two days a number of mountain guide associations in the most prominent locations in the Alps have suspended guiding clients on classic routes. Chamonix, Courmayeur, Cervinia, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and the list grows by the hour. [1/2]

[Clemens TZ @alpen_wetter]

Es ist traurige Realität. Die ehrwürdige Station am Sonnblick (3.105 m) meldet 0 cm Schnee. Das gab es seit Messbeginn 1938 noch nie.
Frühester Rekord bisher 13. August (!) 2003+1963. (thx to @wetterblogAT)

The footage of the large ice avalanche in Marmolada today in close proximity.

We don't know the author, we will write it in the comments as soon as we will know it.

Indeed an impressive sequence

[Matthias Huss @matthias_huss]

Ice avalanche in the Dolomites claiming several victims!
Impressive overview of the detachment zone. It's a site one would not normally expect that. However, particular conditions seemed to have contributed to this disaster.
Are similar events possible elsewhere in the Alps?
