How to save a #glacier
#Scientists have some wild ideas to slow #sealevelrise caused by melting ice.
There’s a lot we don’t understand about how #glaciers move and how soon some of the most significant ones could collapse into the #sea. That could be a problem, since melting glaciers could lead to multiple feet of sea-level rise this century, potentially displacing millions of people who live and work along the coasts.

Bird versus berg.

Black and white photo of a wall of ice that is the front face of a large glacier, which looks like the side of a sheer cliff; very small at the center near the bottom where the glacier meets the icy sea the arced white wings of a bird in flight are just visible.

Glacier ice texture, up close and far away, in a glacier cave under the Canwell Glacier in the Eastern Alaska Range.

My Hiking Guide to the area: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-guide/canwell-glacier-and-rainbow-basin/

View from inside a glacier cave beneath the Canwell Glacier in Alaska. The foreground shows smooth, bluish ice walls dusted with dark debris. Light filters in from a translucent, textured ceiling where sculpted ice arcs reflect and scatter light, resembling frozen ripples. A ridge of dark rocky ground runs along the base of the cave.

Glaciers in all European regions saw a net loss of ice in 2024.

Glaciers in Scandinavia and Svalbard experienced their highest rates of mass loss on record and saw the largest annual glacier mass loss of any glacier region globally.

2024 European State of the Climate (ESOTC) report

Key messages:
a)
#Europe experienced its warmest year, with the second highest number of heat stress days and tropical nights, on record.

b)
The area of Europe experiencing days with temperatures below freezing is decreasing, with the year seeing the largest area on record with fewer than three months (90 days) of frost days. The number of ‘cold stress days’ was the lowest on record.

c)
For the European region and for the Mediterranean Sea, the annual sea surface temperature was the highest on record. It was also the warmest year on record for European lakes.

d)
#Glaciers in #Scandinavia and #Svalbard saw their highest recorded annual rates of mass loss. They also saw the largest mass loss of any #glacier region globally.

e)
Western Europe saw one of the ten wettest years on record and Europe experienced the most widespread #flooding since 2013.

f)
The year saw a record proportion of electricity generation by renewables, at 45%

A moody aerial photograph of a glacial landscape in Iceland. A river of brilliant blue ice, streaked with dark volcanic sediment, flows toward the horizon under a dramatic, brooding sky. The glacier carves a winding path beside a steep, jagged mountain cloaked in shadow. The scale and texture evoke a sense of isolation and raw natural power.

A meltwater channel emerging from a patch of soft, isothermal snow on College Glacier, with Peak 8100 rising in the background. This is exactly the kind of thing you don’t want to step into unaware—these channels can be deep and hidden beneath surface snow until they open up.

More about hike here: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-guide/college-glacier-hiking-guide/

A narrow meltwater channel is visible cutting into soft, white glacier snow, revealing deep blue ice below the surface. The channel curves slightly into the distance, with rugged, snow-covered mountains (Peak 8100) rising in the background under a partly cloudy blue sky. The snow surrounding the channel is patchy and slushy, indicating rapid melting.

#WorldWaterDay 2025: History, Significance, And Importance Of #Glacier Preservation For Future #WaterSecurity

"Every year on March 22, the world comes together to observe World Water Day, a significant occasion dedicated to raising awareness about freshwater conservation and its sustainable management. The day serves as a call to action, reinforcing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal, which aims to ensure clean water and sanitation for all by 2030.

"As we mark World Water Day 2025, let’s take a deeper look into its history, significance, this year’s theme, and the crucial role of glacier preservation in securing the future of global water supplies."

Something really stunning about Norway are the glaciers and the fact that you can walk right up to the glacier from the hike.

If you schedule a tour with an experienced glacier guide you can even walk the glacier. I’ve done a glacier trek in Patagonia so for me I was happy just to view it.

But again, the hiking is unparalleled. The landscapes are stunning. And the hikers in Scandinavia are so friendly when you run across them (which is infrequently to not at all).

It hasn’t been a year yet and I’m seriously considering when I could realistically go back.

QOTD: have you seen a glacier yet?

Inside a glacier cave under the Canwell Glacier in the Alaska Range, looking out through a small entrance framed by deep blue ice. This incredible cave collapsed a couple of years ago, but new ones are always forming in the lower moraine of the glacier.

My hiking guide to the area: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-guide/canwell-glacier-and-rainbow-basin/

A view from inside a glacier cave beneath the Canwell Glacier in the Alaska Range, looking out through a small, rounded exit. The ice walls surrounding the entrance are deep blue with layered textures, smooth curves, and embedded debris. The ice is illuminated by soft, diffused light filtering through from outside. The cave floor is covered in dark, rocky moraine material. Through the opening, a bright, rocky landscape is visible, contrasting sharply with the cool-toned ice inside the cave. The cave itself has since collapsed, but similar formations continue to emerge in the glacier’s lower moraine.

Exploring underneath glaciers is addicting and exciting. Each cave is unique, you'll never know what you might find!

Taken August, 2023

Inside an ice cave, looking towards the misty entrance. Light is coming from the entrance and a moulin above, along with cascades of water. In the foreground is a large boulder with a puddle on it, reflecting the ceiling of the ice cave.

La célèbre Mer de Glace, située dans le massif du Mont-Blanc, doit son nom à sa surface tumultueuse : comme des vagues qui auraient été gelées en plein mouvement. Après divers reculs et avancées depuis la fin de la Glaciation de Würm, elle a perdu depuis 1830 2,5 km de longueur et plus de 150 m d'épaisseur.
