2025 is the UN International Year of Glaciers. One last cheer, before we bid them farewell, I suppose.

The Lewis Glacier in Mount Kenya national park. Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak, is home to rapidly shrinking glaciers, which are vital for nearby ecosystems and communities. Lewis Glacier has lost over 90% of its mass since 1934. This dramatic loss is driven by rising temperatures and declining rainfall, both tied by experts to the global climate crisis, Mount Kenya, #Kenya

8 Jahre ist es jetzt mittlerweile her, dass ich dort oben auf ca. 2.700m stand und diesen malerischen Sonnenuntergang erleben durfte. Es war der anstrengendste Auf- und Abstieg, den ich bisher erleben durfte, der von einer Woche Muskelkater begleitet wurde. Ein Glück war zu diesem Zeitpunkt meine Foto-Ausrüstung mit der ur-E-M5 mit dem Kit von Olympus noch superklein und superleicht.
Doch da oben zu stehen und sein Gipfelradler bei diesem Anblick genüsslich zu schlürfen hatte schon echt was.

#Scientists discover hidden 'plumbing' that's driving #Antarctic #icesheet into the #ocean
Maps created by combining different models of #glaciers and ice sheets reveal the way water is flowing deep beneath #Antarctica's ice. Understanding how these vary is important for accurately predicting how much ice will flow into the ocean, and how quickly it will move. Current models predict that ice melt from Antarctica could result in #sealevelrise up to 12in (30cm) by 2100.

#Greenland’s #glaciers are falling apart faster than expected
New 3D study shows meltwater driving fissures deeper into the glacial ice.
The study found that crevasses are expanding more quickly than previously detected, and somewhere between 50-90% of the water flowing through the Greenland Ice Sheet goes through crevasses, which can warm deeply submerged portions of the #glacier and increase lubrication between the base of the #icesheet and the bedrock it flows over.

Glacial toe, from above. Enroute to Anchorage,AK.
I've never been able to figure out exactly where this is other than interior side of the Coast Range in BC/YT/AK - view is from the port side facing S/SW. I have "landmark" images from other other points along the route but have been unable to localize this.

"University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in glacier movement. This new approach demonstrates that diverse patterns of ice flow—ranging from short-term fluctuations to multi-year trends—can be explained using a single set of fundamental equations".
