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!

We all know how important glaciers are for us. Can we preserve these beautiful landscapes? I hope for a better future and my mission to study, document and preserve them continues.

Happy World Glacier Day ❄️

#Glaciers #ClimateChange

The new glacier inventory for the Hindu Kush Himalaya maps over 63,700 glaciers, one of the planet’s largest freshwater reserves. It reveals that these glaciers are shrinking under accelerating climate stress.

Cryospheric geomorphology is amazing! 😍

Here is a massive and delicately carved Neoglacial moraine (Réou d'Arsine Gl.), the lower part of which has evolved into a magnificent rock glacier with concentric lobes 🧊🌊

The whole being heavily laden with snow, even on the steepest sections! ❄️

What I learned from my visit to the Southern Alps My fascination with glacial geomorphology and landforms truly began during my first visit to the Drang Drung Glacier in Ladakh in the year…

Wrote a small blog on "What I learned from my visit to the Southern Alps"

Do have a read, if you like glacial geomorphology and landforms.

Have you ever considered growing a glacier? 🧊

That's what glacier marriages are about! 🌱

To learn more, read the great story written by @glacioverse.bsky.social about this tradition from Baltistan (Pakistan) 🏔️

Glacier marriage- A fusion of folklore and science | Tirthankar Ghosh Today, we discuss an ancient practice of glacier "marriage" in the Balti region of Karakoram, Pakistan. This ancient practice blends spiritual devotion with ecological strategy to grow new ice masses....

Geoengineering is not going to save the poles from climate change A review of the five main methods proposed for cooling down the poles or slowing the loss of ice concludes they are all wildly impractical, wouldn't work, or both

With emissions still rising 📈 and the catastrophic consequences 🔥 becoming ever clearer, geoengineering is getting ever more tempting 🧪

But a review has concluded that the main methods proposed to save polar ice 🧊 are not doable or won't work

It's the time of the year GLAMOS measurements on around 20 Swiss #glaciers start. We've been on Rhone, Allalin, Corvatsch, ... these days.
Not all as shiny white as here! Major losses also in 2025. Stay posted for the press release via @scnat.ch on 1 Oct

This is the collapsing terminus of Rhone #glacier yesterday - retreating out of its proglacial lake. Impressive changes going on during the heat wave!
We measured almost 3 meters of ice melting over the last 4 weeks... This is 10 cm of ice layer removed every single day!!
