  11. I've done my share of spectacular hikes in the Alps, but this one alongside Glacier d'Orny up to Cabane du Trient was unforgettable. A well-maintained path off the overcrowded Trail du Mont Blanc, that just kept on giving incredible views left and right. And finally, the sea of ice that is Plateau du Trient.

  16. The Nepal and Tibet flood is a warning: melting snow and ice will bring more disasters around the world | Bill McGuire
    By Bill McGuire

    In Alaska, the Himalayas, the Andes, Greenland, and perhaps also the Alps, deadly chain reactions are just waiting to be triggered

  17. 💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

  20. Hundreds of Iceberg Earthquakes Rattle Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier

    Capsizing icebergs are violently clashing with the crumbling end of the Doomsday Glacier

    Thwaites Glacier is sometimes known as the Doomsday Glacier. If it were to collapse completely it would raise global sea levels by 3 meters, and it also has the potential to fall apart rapidly.

  21. Inside a quest to save “#doomsdayglacier
    #AreteGlacier Initiative has raised $5 million to improve forecasts of #sealevelrise and explore possibility of refreezing #glaciers in place. #Thwaites glacier is a fortress larger than Florida, a wall of ice that reaches nearly 4,000 feet above the bedrock of West #Antarctica, guarding low-lying ice sheet behind it. But a strong, warm #ocean current is weakening its foundations and accelerating its slide into the Amundsen Sea.

  25. "Meltwater is hydro-fracking Greenland's ice sheet, destabilizing its internal structure" - Glaciologist Alan Hubbard, in the field for 35 years, writes a superb, readable summary of what's really happening in #Greenland and #Antarctica, and why it is far more frightening than what the #IPCC admits. Article also has excellent links.
    ...
    "Current climate models lowball the risks - Along with other applied glaciologists, "structured expert judgment" and a few candid modelers, I contend that the current generation of ice sheet models used to inform the IPCC are not capturing the abrupt changes being observed in Greenland and Antarctica, or the risks that lie ahead."
    ...
    "This is a tragedy in the making for the half a billion people who populate vulnerable coastal regions, since the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are effectively giant frozen freshwater reservoirs locking up in excess of 65 meters (over 200 feet) of equivalent global sea level rise. Since the 1990s their mass loss has been accelerating, becoming both the primary contributor to and the wild card in future sea level rise."
    ...
    "...new research into the ice sheet's mechanics are challenging traditional thinking about what happens inside and under ice sheets, where observations are extremely challenging yet have stark implications. They suggest that Earth's remaining ice sheets in #Greenland and #Antarctica are far more vulnerable to #climate warming than models predict, and that the ice sheets may be destabilizing from inside."

    And they were everywhere…

    A worrying #Arctic phenomenon: Atlantification…

    The Arctic Ocean is warming quickly... But Atlantification is about more than rising #temperatures: it’s a process that is reshaping the physical and chemical conditions of the Arctic Ocean.”
