Rock glaciers (creeping bodies made of a mixture of scree and interstitial ice), flow at lower speed than glaciers, typically few dm/yr 🧊

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 🧊

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! 🧊 📈

2005 | 2023

Once - not so long ago - it was the largest glacier in Italy...! 🧊💪

Ski lift operators are commiting what amounts to environmental crimes! 🤬

Since 2024, SATA which operates Deux Alpes ski area has levelled Mont De Lans Glacier and filled in a 2000 m² new glacial lake that had appeared around 2010... without any authorisation!

Limestone extravaganza in Diablerets! 😍

Enjoy Tsanfleuron ('flowery field'), one of the last karst glacier in the Alps, which has a nice feature: feeding both Rhine and Rhône with meltwater! 🧊💧

Check the diffluence towards Sex Rouge, first ice freed in 2022!
