How volcanoes affect glaciers ? See the new publication, which just came out: „Decade-scale recovery of the Eyjafjallajökull ice cap, Iceland, after the 2010 summit eruption“.

Nature study: More icebergs in the Arctic
The number of icebergs in the Arctic has increased sharply since the 2000s. This is due to the destabilisation of large glaciers in north-east Greenland and parts of the Russian Arctic as well as the increasing mobility of sea ice. The result: Stones rain down from the melting icebergs, forming new hard-substrate habitats for marine life on the soft seafloor. This gradually alters the existing communities in the deep sea. At the same time, the increasing presence of icebergs also poses greater risks to shipping and fisheries. These findings were reported by a research team led by the Alfred Wegener Institute and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the journal Nature.

"Ça va beaucoup trop vite" : enquête sur l'érosion spectaculaire des Alpes et la disparition progressive des voies mythiques du Massif du Mont Blanc
Si notre pays abrite des paysages magnifiques que l'on croit immuables, pourtant, ces cadres spectaculaires changent. "L'Œil du 20 Heures" a enquêté sur l'érosion des Alpes, où les montagnes s'effritent et deviennent dangereuses. Des pans entiers menacent de s'effondrer et les sentiers se fissurent ; un tiers des parcours d'alpinisme les plus célèbres ne sont plus accessibles.

The Last Stable Glaciers on Earth Are Starting to Collapse
Climate change doesn't really care what you think.
ZME Science💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🏔️🧊 Even the Pamir and Tien Shan #glaciers – long considered stable – are now melting fast.
In 2025, Kangxiwa Glacier lost 4 times its average annual #ice, driven by months of persistent heat and dark, #snow-free ice that absorbed more sunlight. Scientists confirm the region’s “#water tower” for Central #Asia is no longer resisting global trends.
