Aletsch Glacier forefield is so gigantic that fieldwork is demanding there!
Today was maybe one of the hardest working day ever...
Took me 3h40 to get back to Belalp with 40kg (rope, chainsaw, wood)... 😫

Superb aerial footage of Zanskar mountains (Ladakh, India)! 🤩
The accumulation area of the mighty Drang Drung glacier (largest gl. in Zanskar with ~70 km²) is visible at foreground 🧊
Nun-Kun massif (7,135 m) in the distance! 🏔️🏔️
Nanga Parbat (8,126 m) on the horizon!

Iran is facing its worst drought since at least six decades! 😱🔥💧
As a result the iconic Damavand (5,609 m asl), Iran's highest peak, was snow-free at mid-autumn, which appears to be unprecedented! ❄️😰
This stratovolcano had a 3.4 km ice cover in 2002... likely gone today! 🧊 📈

Imagine,
Passing in front of Morteratsch Glacier in the 1860s like Adolphe Braun here... 🧊 📷
At that time, it was at its Little Ice Age maximum extent!
Imagine that no AGW has occurred since then 🏭
The glacier would not have lost 3.3 km, but likely only one third... 📉

1,019 glaciers have disappeared since 1973 in Switzerland! ✝️
1st nationwide assessment of vanished glaciers:
>40% of the glaciers inventoried in 1973
~13% (47±3 km²) of total glacier area loss! 🧊🔥
But, as it is based on the latest inventory (from 2016), the actual figures are far much higher! 📈 😰

No, because they hardly occur...
