- 🧊 Landmark moment for #cryosphere science: the Ice Memory Foundation has opened the first sanctuary of mountain #IceCores in Antarctica, preserving Alpine #glacier archives for centuries of future research. 📖 Read more: bit.ly/IceMemoryFou... #MountainResearch #ClimateScience #OurChangingMountains
- Thank you to everyone who joined our #glacier session at the 23rd Swiss Geoscience Meeting! ❄️🌄 From melting ice to human stories, it was inspiring to explore glaciers in all their complexity. Missed it? Catch up here: buff.ly/2hxfk8h #Glaciers2025 #IYGP2025 #OurChangingMountains #MountainsMatter
- 🌍🌄 #OurChangingMountains are under pressure, & the MRI research community is responding. From #glacier tipping points in the South Caucasus to major cross-border #adaptation programs, our December newsletter highlights some key community insights & achievements. 📖 Read more ➡️ buff.ly/xlCqw8Q

- Sólheimajökull feels like a landscape caught between worlds — ice, ash, time, and silence. The tiny group of hikers in the distance shows how immense this landscape truly is. Nature writes its story on a scale we can walk across, but never fully grasp. #realphotography #Iceland #glacier #geology
- Like pulling the plug of a bathtub: an incredible mass of #glacier ice disappearing at Griesgletscher (🇨🇭/🇮🇹) in one century. It felt emotional to visit the exact same spot @swisstopo cartographers chose in 1919. The view was so different. Simply unbelievable!! @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social
- 110 years ago, glaciologists climbed up to Claridenfirn 🇨🇭 to start the longest measurements of #glacier mass balance worldwide. Yesterday morning, the scene looked so different! Still beautiful, but the ice got slim... Almost sentimental to see another crazy year up there
- One more year: Ice loss at Konkordiaplatz on Aletsch #Glacier is just... wow 😲 Minus 4.6 metres of ice. Will there ever be a call: "Make Aletsch Great Again"? It would be about time
- We discontinued mass balance measurements on the small St. Annafirn in 2023 as the #glacier was on the verge of disappearing and rockfall hazard became too high. A good decision: a massive landslide occurred this Sunday covering the entire glacier 👇 www.ur.ch/mmdirektione....
- This #glacier encountered during our late-summer fieldwork looks like a wounded animal. Deep scars in its surface are indicative of the processes of internal decay. This is widespread now in the Alps. A sad sight for a glaciologist...
- It is #MountainMonday Here is another shot from #Greenland to challenge perspective. See the little spikes on top the grassy knoll? Those are some of my shipmates on a challenging hike. I took the photo from the beach. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Glacier #Sermersooq
- If you're a storymap kind of person, here's one that nicely explains what's happening & why with the glacial lake outburst flooding now underway on the Mendenhall River near Juneau. #akwx #ClimateChange #Flood #Glacier @spiraledu.bsky.social @alaska.bsky.social storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/72ce...
- A hole in the #glacier ice... Nature is just incredible. We were at Glacier de la Plaine Morte today for GLAMOS measurements. Bad situation, as expected. Major mass loss has already occurred and melting continues at crazy rates. Wow, let's see where this is ending...
- Great Aletsch #Glacier - what a beauty 😍 Melting at the glacier terminus is incredible though this year as reported by measurements by @pronaturabl.bsky.social Already over 7️⃣ meters of ice loss since Oct 2024, with considerable melt also in winter.
- This is the collapsing terminus of Rhone #glacier yesterday - retreating out of its proglacial lake. Impressive changes going on during the heat wave! We measured almost 3 meters of ice melting over the last 4 weeks... This is 10 cm of ice layer removed every single day!!
- The #Glacier Loss Day is reached in Switzerland! From now on all melt that occurs on glaciers until October is unsustainable. This tipping point has only been reached so early in the record-shattering year 2022. Expect big ice loss due to the prolonged melt season and feedback effects
- Some cooling within the #glacier ice - this is what is urgently needed these days... On Jungfraujoch, there has been no warmer June since at least 90 years than in 2025! @meteoschweiz.ch Glaciers are in a deplorable state - as if they even need more attention in their UN International Year...
- In about 4 days from now, we are going to hit the #Glacier Loss Day in Switzerland! All melting from this point onwards till next winter is unsustainable, i.e. is long-term mass loss. This is extremely early in the season! And just a bit behind the record-shattering year 2022...
- Snow situation on Konkordiaplatz, Great Aletsch #Glacier, by 29 June 2019-2025. Exchanging white snow with dark bare ice. This is really bad! And there's still up to 100 days to go in the melt season. Will we reach the all-time record of 2022? I hope not...! @jungfraualetsch.bsky.social
- One month ago, Birchgletscher collapsed and erased the village of Blatten. A disastrous event that will keep Switzerland busy for a long while... swisstopo images 👇 show the #glacier front began to advance in 2020, indicating a growing instability - a precursor of the event
- The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!
- The beauty of a #glacier at sunrise descending down into the valley. You may not realise that this view is dramatic, and not just gorgeous: Glacier retreat is immense, and there's very little snow this June... Pic taken from Piz Languard on 22 June 2025
- The last snow on the tongue of Griesgletscher at sunrise. Beautiful, but bad news for the #glacier... The present heat has massively reduced the already limited amount of winter snow, the natural protection of the ice is soon lost.
- Funny scene at our real-time station on Findel #Glacier today: the strong melting has mobilized the little remaining snow on the ice surface into a slush flow that has temporarily buried the camera 😅 The first summer heat 🌊 is here, poor glaciers... @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social

- Yesterday's devastating #glacier collapse erasing the Swiss village of Blatten still leaves me speechless... The high mountain areas are adapting to ever increasing temperatures. It's time to wake up! When, if not now? This is not far away but right here... pic: Pomona/A. Amherd
- Another winter day on Great Aletsch #Glacier! Windy, cold, fresh powder... For the last time this season we went out for a long day to measure snow depth and serviced the station on Konkordiaplatz. Just incredible to be out in this environment! @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social
- Here we go, summer started! Bare ice has appeared at the first of the GLAMOS real-time stations. The lower 6 km of Great Aletsch #Glacier are thus snow-free. This is early in the season, similar to 2022, but 1 and 3 weeks before 2023 and 2024, respectively. @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social
