Dans un scénario optimiste, SSP2-4.5, le glacier des argentières disparaît et la mer de glace est réduite de 80% ! !

Optimisme...

A glacier baby is born: "Mating" glaciers to replace water lost to climate change.

NPR reports on an "ancient ritual that calls for mixing chunks of white glaciers, which residents believe are female, and black or brown glaciers (whose color comes from rock debris), which residents believe are male."

Balancing boulder at a dividing stream on the surface of the Black Rapids Glacier in the Alaska Range. It proved a good way to cross before the subglacial hydrology opened up enough to start draining some surface water via moulins.

The hut was abandoned and burned down by the police in 2005, so nobody could use the hut in this dangerous place.

All that remains today are some small walls. As you can see in the first picture, even more of the hut has disappeared in the deep (picture of this morning).

The second picture is a zoomed out version. You can see the remains of the hut in the center. Everything below the hut used to be glacier.

100 meters higher the new Bäregg has been built, which opened in 2006.

Strange idea that at this place the history of mountain huts in Switzerland began.

After reading the above article about the Stieregghütte, the first mountain hut of the Swiss Alpine Club SAC, I wanted to see where this hut once stood. The hut was initially built in 1823 and was destroyed several times by avalanches. Each time it was rebuild at the same spot.

The last time it was rebuild was in 1952. The glacier has been retreating since 150 years and this means that the moraine do not have enough back pressure as it used to have, so the moraine started to collapse further and further. And so it eventually reached the hut.

A shorter write-up on my Gakona Glacier trip mostly focused on the collapse of the lower ablation area from a stream due to thinning ice. I'll be trying to visit many more sites like this in the coming years. It's a very good visual indicator of climate change.

Inside one of the prettiest glacier caves I've ever had the chance to explore in the Canwell Glacier moraines (since collapsed).

Just a few pretty photos from my hike to the Gakona Glacier last week. Trip totals were 25.7 miles with 10,275 feet of elevation gain over three days. Beautiful place. It's definitely close to the limit of what I'm willing to do solo. Many more photos, and info about the area, the glacier, and the hike here: https://www.lwpetersen.com/trip-reports/gakona-glacier-hike-info-and-august-2023-trip-report/

I finally finished my write-up from my trip to the Gakona Glacier. A bit of hiking info, a bit of historical imagery from Austin Post, a bit of a big, interesting glacial feature that resulted from massive thinning, and a LOT of photos. It's a really cool place. https://www.lwpetersen.com/trip-reports/gakona-glacier-hike-info-and-august-2023-trip-report/
