Seeing the beautiful and still impressive Norwegian glaciers, it's sad to know they're rapidly retreating. One sign said "If we manage to keep global warming below 1.5°C, around 25-30% of the glaciers can be preserved."

Almost inconceivable! Never in my life would I have imagined glaciers melting, giant chunks of Artic and North Pole glaciers calving at so many places, nor frozen tundra thawing out and dangerous release of methane gas. SciAm article from today.
“The Arctic is cooking. Across northern Russia—a region that is famously bitterly cold—temperatures this week have routinely surpassed 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius), adding to the mountain of broken heat records this summer has racked up so far.
In recent days, the Selagoncy meteorological station, near the border of the Arctic Circle, recorded 93.0 degrees F (33.9 degrees C); another station, Olenyok, logged 90.9 degrees F (32.7 degrees C), according to data collected by weather information service Ogimet and reported by climatologist Maximiliano Herrera. To put that in perspective, these temperatures are on par for Orlando, Fla., at this time of year.”
This area is warming up in general up to four times faster than the average place anywhere else in the world.

"After a period of intense glacial melt in 2015, a series of small quakes struck the Grandes Jorasses on Mont Blanc Massif, on the border of France and Italy; the probability of a 3.0-magnitude earthquake rose by 10 times. These quakes are still small, but they could trigger rockfall events that are already on the rise across the Alps."

The Glacier’s Eulogy: The "last" isn't just an individual human milestone; it’s an obituary for an ancient geological body. When a glacier dies—as so many across the Alps already have, complete with literal plaque-unveiling ceremonies and public funerals—the window for human interaction with it closes forever.

🧊🚫 So, apparently the ice in Greenland is stubbornly refusing to melt despite all the #doomsday forecasts. 🌍❄️ Who knew #glaciers had such a rebellious streak, ignoring our dramatic climate predictions like a teenager defying curfew? 😂📉

Collapsing Mountains In Alaska Are Causing Massive Tsunamis
Alexandre Rosa/Alamy Stock Photo Sasha Calvey heard the tsunami coming. It was after 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 10, 2025, and she was camped with two friends on a remote island in Southeast Alaska. They were 74 days into a sea kayaking trip from Washington. Heavy rain had fallen overnight, with gusts that swayed the spruce and hemlocks overhead. From her sleeping bag inside the tent, Calvey heard waves tumbling against the shore.......Continue reading.... By: Tim Lydon Source:High Country […] -
💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧊🤖 A British led #expedition launching this month will deploy a fleet of #drones, subs, and sensors to study #Greenland’s melting #glaciers in detail.
The #GIANT project aims to improve #climate models by observing the tiny scale #physics of #ice #ocean interactions. The mission, funded by the #UK’s Advanced Research and #Invention Agency, runs from the #research ship Sir #DavidAttenborough.

A robot swarm is on a mission to map #Greenland’s perilous #icesheets
The fleet of drones, subs and sensors will map ice melt to forecast #climate #tippingpoints
Data from expedition funded by #UK’s secretive new inventions agency, will feed into climate models. Idea is to forecast when #ice melt will tip climate-regulating ocean currents into shutdown, and try to develop early warning system that would let humanity know when #glaciers are changing

"La semaine dernière dans les Alpes, les températures glaciales sont restées au-dessus de zéro même aux sommets les plus élevés comme le Mont Blanc, 4 800 m !
Tous les #glaciers alpins fondaientLes bâches étendues sur la glace pour la protéger du soleil et de la chaleur ressemblaient à un voile drapé sur un patient mourant

Glacier National Park holds only 25 of its original 150 glaciers, but not everyone coming for that.
