A deeply moving return from the #unesco #worlddayforglaciers at the #merdeglace glacier, in #Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
This day will remain forever etched in my memory and in my heart, a powerful blend of #science, #art, and #spirituality.
This weekend marked the #InternationalDayofForests and #WorldDayforGlaciers, as well as yesterday's #SpringEquinox! Our Education and Communication Special Projects Manager Ashley reflects on this moment of seasonal shift through a poem on balance, renewal, and our connection to the natural world.
❄️Glaciers are some of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders, and they need our help.
🌍This #WorldDayForGlaciers, UNESCO is rallying the world to protect these frozen giants.

Created this for World Day for Glaciers.
Wanted it to feel beautiful, ancient and unsettling all at once.
A reminder that what looks permanent in nature can still be fragile.

It’s World Day for Glaciers 🧊
Glaciers store freshwater, feed rivers & signal climate change. Protecting them means protecting our shared water future. 🌍
Here's a glacier on Mt. Baker in my own PNW backyard from a hike I did last summer. Majestic!

Our cryosphere is melting at an unprecedented pace. The Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences (2025–2034) is a global effort to boost research and drive urgent action to protect Earth’s frozen areas.

💧We connected with Research Scientist, Jason Leach, and Assistant Professor, Caroline Aubry-Wake, to learn how forests and glaciers influence Canadian water resources. Swipe to learn more ➡️
From mountain peaks to communities downstream, everything is connected.
This #WorldDayForGlaciers, we highlight how glacier loss impacts water, food, and ecosystems worldwide.

#Glaciers2026
As glaciers around the world retreat, the risk of flooding from glacial lakes like these will only grow.

On this #WorldDayforGlaciers, you could do worse than take a few minutes to watch & inwardly digest @andrimagnason.bsky.social's #OnTimeAndWater (youtu.be/hdvYezsK70A?...) My pic from Sólheimajökull in Feb'18. Just in the decade we've been visiting we've seen sobering change #climatecrisis #Iceland
⌛️ Same place. 30 years apart.
The people changed.
The glacier disappeared.
On this #WorldDayForGlaciers, we’re reflecting on how landscapes shape lives. And how quickly they are changing.

❄️ Tomorrow is #WorldDayForGlaciers.
Glaciers are far more than magnificent frozen landscapes. They are critical freshwater reserves, releasing meltwater that sustains rivers, agriculture and drinking water supplies for communities across Europe and the world.
#ClimateChange #Glaciers #WaterSecurity
❄️ Glaciers hold ~70% of Earth’s freshwater. And they’re disappearing fast.
🌊Arctic sea ice ↓ ~40% since 1979.
🧊Ice sheets melting faster each year.
This is a water crisis in slow motion.
On the occasion of the World Day for Glaciers find out more about Hans Glacier.

Today, on World Water Day and World Day for Glaciers, let's take a moment to appreciate the role of waters in our lives and our landscapes.
Protecting our water means protecting our future.

Overwhelmed by the ongoing horrors, I missed that yesterday was the 1st #UNESCO #WMO #WorldDayforGlaciers. To make amends, here is a nice little montane #glacier on Mt Stephen in #YohoNationalPark, #BritishColumbia 🇨🇦 #Canada -- 3 views taken in 3 different yrs from 3 different perspectives.
🌊 #worlddayforglaciers More ice in Dobbin Bay Nunavut. Hard to appreciate the scale but still beautiful

Our future is melting fast...
