An group of eleven people stand together for a group photo on a rocky beach. The group is composed of young adults, mostly in their late teens or early twenties. They are all dressed in outdoor gear, including jackets, hats, and backpacks. The beach is covered in small, smooth rocks, and there is a large rock formation to the left of the group. In the background, there is a sandy beach and the ocean. The sky is blue with some white clouds. The people are all smiling and look happy to be there. The sun is shining, and the light is bright. The image is taken from a slightly elevated perspective.

Today is #WorldGlacierDay so here's one from a few years ago when our colleague Dr Lynda Yorke visited Nigardsbreen, Norway ... the glacier has receded quite a bit since then 😞
A wide-angle, eye-level shot shows the terminus of Nigardsbreen glacier in Norway, a massive wall of jagged, bright blue ice. The glacier's surface is uneven with deep crevasses and sharp ridges. It sits at the base of dark, rocky mountains partially covered in snow under a pale, overcast sky. In the foreground, a vast expanse of grey, glaciated bedrock and loose gravel leads to the ice. Several small, yellow warning signs on thin poles are scattered across the rocky terrain near the glacier's edge. A small stream of meltwater flows from beneath the ice on the left.

Yesterday we were out with our #geographers and #oceansciences #students exploring Cwm Idwal's geological, glacial and human history ... what a perfect day and just 20mins from our department #fieldwork
A group of approximately 20 young adults stands on a grassy, sunlit ridge in a mountainous landscape, likely the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia, Wales. They are dressed in various hiking and casual outdoor clothing, including hoodies, t-shirts, and backpacks. To the right, a massive, steep, and rocky mountain peak (resembling Pen yr Ole Wen) dominates the background under a clear, bright blue sky. The terrain around the group consists of dry grass and low-lying dark brush, with more distant hills and a valley visible to the far left.

A knitted postbox topper featuring tje scene of the burst dam. The topper sits on a bright red postbox and depicts grey-and-white knitted elements resembling rocks, with a church bell and cross visible. A small, knitted figure of a man (rector) in a dark suit is walking across the scene.A memorial in a wooded area with large silver letters on vertical wooden planks reading "TACH 2 NOV". To the right, a large white paper flower is attached to a boulder, and behind it, a dark stone plaque commemorates the 1925 Dolgarrog Dam Disaster, listing names.
