Oh, it's World Day For Glaciers!

Here's an appropriate song from the mighty Sea Power (British Sea Power as they were when they recorded it).

Love this band!

UN World Day for Glaciers is Saturday, 21 March 2026

#Sermersuaq, the #GreenlandIceSheet, is rapidly melting due to manmade global heating, and likely past its tipping point (with total collapse thought to be triggered around 1.7-2.3ºC of warming).

If glaciers retreat from these fjords to terminate on dry land no longer will they calve such astonishing #icebergs – but our oceans will continue to rise, swamping our lands.

World Day for Glaciers

In August 2023, I set off on a three-day tour from the Jungfraujoch to the Grimsel Pass. Most of the tour led over various glaciers. Sleeping was in two huts. One wrong step caused me to slip into a crevasse on the very first day. Fortunately, apart from a sore shoulder, nothing happened. The next morning, the pain was too severe to continue the tour, so I was picked up from the hut by helicopter and taken to hospital for a check-up. I met my colleagues the next day on the Grimsel Pass. Despite everything, it was an incredible experience to be on these mighty glaciers. I can recommend this to everyone and hope that it will be possible for a long time to come.

Zum Welttag der Gletscher

Im August 2023 startete ich zu einer dreitägigen Tour vom Jungfraujoch zum Grimselpass. Der grösste Teil der Tour führte über verschiedene Gletscher. Übernachtet wurde in zwei Hütten. Ein falscher Schritt liess mich bereits am ersten Tag in eine Gletscherspalte abrutschen. Ausser einer schmerzenden Schulter ist zum Glück nichts passiert. Am nächsten Morgen waren die Schmerzen zu stark um die Tour fortzusetzen, weshalb ich mit einem Helikopter bei der Hütte abgeholt und zur Kontrolle ins Spital gebracht wurde. Die Kollegen nahm ich am nächsten Tag auf dem Grimselpass in Empfang. Trotz allem war es ein unglaubliches Erlebnis, sich auf diesen mächtigen Gletschern zu bewegen. Ich kann dies jedem empfehlen und hoffe, dass dies noch lange möglich sein wird.

🏔️ As we celebrate the first World Day for Glaciers today, let's focus on a recent study carried out under the Vanishing Glaciers project. It establishes the very first forecasts of what these streams and their microbiomes could look like by century-end under various climate-change scenarios. #WorldDayForGlaciers #ClimateChange #Glaciers

Glacier melt puts unique microbial ecosystems under threat

A pioneering study has revealed how climate change is impacting glacier-fed streams and the essential microbiomes they contain – which could change radically by the end of this century.

Voller Demut und als leise Warnung an uns selbst poste ich heute zum ersten Welt-Tag der Gletscher drei ausgewählte Fotos dieser nahezu stillen und atemberaubenden Riesen.
Dankbarkeit, Respekt, Wut und Frustration liegen stets sehr nahe beieinander, wenn ich persönlich in den Genuss dieser Naturgewalten komme...

On the first World Day for Glaciers here is a photo I took on my first visit to South Georgia in 1985 showing the front of Neumayer Glacier in West Cumberland Bay. Also, a figure from a study by Alison Cook showing the extent of the glacier's retreat over the next two decades.

On the first World Day for Glaciers here are photos of the front of Columbia Glacier, Prince William Sound, Alaska that I took from an Alaska State Ferry in 1982, which took a short detour on its way into Valdez. For change since see

World of Change: Columbia Glacier, Alaska

Since 1980, the volume of this glacier that spills into the Prince William Sound has shrunk by half. Climate change may have nudged the process along, but mechanical forces have played the largest role in the ice loss.

On the first World Day for Glaciers here is a photo of the Mer de Glace from Montenvers, near Chamonix, that I took on my first visit there in 1976, and another showing the glacier in 2023 posted recently by Reddit user deetredd.
