Glacial Grandeur
In the Chugach Range lies the magnificent Matanuska Glacier. Creeping slowly forward at a rate of 1ft./day, this 27 miles long, 4 miles wide colossal frozen sheet births the headwaters of the Matanuska River, and is the largest glacier in the United States accessible by car. Practically in our front yard just 25 miles up the road, Ellie and I never tire of visiting this magnificent flowing river of ice. Here’s what transfixed our gaze in awesome wonder yesterday. We are blessed . . . May U […] -

Ah, the "Climate Dashboard"—because nothing says urgent environmental crisis like scrolling through endless menus of jargon 🤔📊. Marvel at the riveting insight that #glaciers are made of ice and—get this—they melt! 💧❄️ Meanwhile, the planet sizzles, but hey, enjoy navigating that dashboard! 🌍🔥

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? 😂📉
