Glacierwatch
We present accessible information about Europe's glaciers and how the climate crisis impacts them.
- World Wetlands Day - February 2nd 2026 Wetlands are shaped by the cryosphere, even after the ice is gone. Glaciers don’t just vanish when they melt. Their water becomes wetlands: Slow, living systems that store carbon, reduce floods, and shelter biodiversity.
- Greenland - Kalaallit Nunaat Why its people, ice and water matter to us and our future Greenland is often reduced to “the big ice sheet”, but it is far more than that. It is a living landscape where ice, ocean, people, and climate are deeply intertwined.
- 🌱 Succession Plants reclaim land where glaciers retreat When a glacier retreats, it doesn’t just leave, it reveals. Beneath the ice lies raw mineral ground, once sculpted by centuries of ice movement.
- Thank you! Happy Holidays & all the best for 2026 2025 has been an amazing year filled with many firsts. Our founding event gave us the chance to turn Glacierwatch into a viable non-profit organization, fueled by the enthusiasm & energy of our members & all the support we received through the year.
- Life’s High Places are Losing Their Cool Glaciers Shaped these Ecosystems — now they are vanishing Mountains are more than majestic scenery. They are living, breathing ecosystems unlike anywhere else on Earth.
- A Year Between First Ice and Last Ice Where do we stand at the end of the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation? As 2025 ends — and with it the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation (IYGP) — we take a moment to look back at the cryosphere’s year.
