Sampling Trient moraine today, exactly 17 yr after the first time... 🏔️🧊 This was the first site I worked at in 2008! ⏳ Pretty dermanding pickaxe work in surreal heat for the season, but nice cookies in the end! 🌲💍 Before / After picking 🥵

Another day at the office! 😎 Scrambling the wet Trient moraine is like spending the day (picking) on a steep moving landslide where you can only stand on one foot! ⛏️🤪

Perfect architecture! 🏔️ Aiguille Verte tonight! 😍

Trient Glacier today! 🥰 Like a little snake retreating into the shelter of protective walls, it's a shadow of its former self! 🔥📈

Crazy heat! 🥵 With 30°C at 11:00 am at 1,100 m asl in Chamonix no doubt Bossons Glacier tongue will rapidly continue its collapse ! 😱

From the Alps to Tien Shan, same story for glaciers this year, on track for record losses! 🔥🥵 Little winter snow and already crazy heat! 32°C at 1100 m in Chamonix 16°C at 3600 m in Tien Shan Real-time mass balance 👇 Swiss Alps VAW Glaciology Bordu Gl. Lander Van Tricht

Melt, baby, melt !! 🔥 Pretty schocked by current temp. in Chamonix... 🥵 Bossons is crying out loud! 💧💦

Les Aiguilles de Chamonix at the end of a scorching hot day! 🥵

Crazy discharge from Rhône Glacier tonight (9:30 pm!) after a scorching day! 🧊🌊 Still 19°C at 1900 m currently! 🥵 The Rhône Glacier Little Ice Age moraine can be seen at the foreground!

Rhône Glacier ca 1860 and tonight ! 😢

Gauli Glacier this afternoon! 🧊 The pic is shot from the crest of the 1980s moraine ! ⌚️ In my lifetime, due to anthropogenic emissions, we have lost that much ice... The scale is hard to grasp, but this is ~ 1.5 km

Gauli Glacier this afternoon! ❄️ Now far far above the lake! 📈 If you want to learn more about this glacier and a plane crash in the 1940s, check this out! tc.copernicus.org/articles/14/42…

Stone pine sapling found at ~2750 m asl above Fenêtre d'Arpette in front of Trient Glacier by @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social today! 😲🌲📈

Bossons Glacier 1910 | 2024 The most beautiful glacier in the Alps as seen from its left margin 🥰 Soon no more ice to see from this viewpoint! 🔥📈 With the appearance of bedrock in the icefall, the front will rise several hundred metres in one go! 😱 📷 Glacionaut 🙏

Another take regarding the Blatten event and its comparison with the 1987 Val Pola event! 🏔️ The latter involved neither glacier nor permafrost, but represented a turning point in the perception and management of risks in the Alps 🌊 (in italian!) nimbus.it/ghiacciai/2025…
