One of those is Pizolgletscher which I visited today. Always a saddening yet impressive sight... 57229

Reposted by Leïla EzzatMatthias Huss @matthias-huss.bsky.social · 21/03/2025It's the first International Day of #Glaciers! The ice worldwide is under threat due to rapid #climatechange. This day puts a spotlight on glaciers as a vulnerable but globally relevant element of the climate system. It is not yet too late to save them! @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social 09135
