Still at #merdeglace for Day 6 of #7daysoffieldwork to celebrate 10 years of sampling and ~400 subfossil wood samples retrieved from this single moraine ! 🌲💍 #treerings #fieldwork #chamonix

Skeiðarárjökull (SE Iceland) 1996 | 2026 This 15 km-wide glacier tongue has retreated 2 km between these two pictures! 🧊📈 100% man-made 🏭🔥 Enjoy! 🙃 📷 Andy Russell

One of the oldest depictions of an Andean glacier! 🧊 In 1858, French geologist Pissis described Cipreses Glacier (34°S, Chile) as already 100m inboard its frontal moraine (foreground, late 1840s/early 1850s) This shows that LIA ended synchronously between both hemispheres! ⏱️

France is heading towards its second heatwave... BEFORE the summer solstice! 🔥🌡️🥵 It’s just nightmarish, morbid, and foreshadows how difficult life will be in the 21st century. 😰 I’m thinking of the ecosystems that can’t take it anymore... 🌲✝️ Map via @Kevin_Fillin

The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850. It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!

View across Tour Glacier towards Aiguille Verte and Mont Blanc today! 😍 Very little snow for early June... 🥵 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

Arsine Glacier 2024 | 2025 | 2026 Impact of the spring 2026 heatwave at high altitude in the Ecrins massif! ❄️🔥 For dating of the moraine sequence at this site, see our paper: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 📷 Edouard Ravier

🧊🔥 New paper out! 🔥🧊 Several intervals of smaller-than-present glacier extent have been documented to date during the Holocene, but the earliest of these was previously unreported... It's finally done thanks to these incredible subfossil trees! 🌲💍 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Mont Blanc and Bossons Glacier from Brévent 🏔🧊🤍 1st June 2026 📷 @PirineosMeteo

Bossons Glacier 2022 | 2026 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social & @LafitteGuillem

The disfigured tongue of Bossons Glacier this afternoon, with Aiguille du Midi at the background! 🧊🔥 That gaping hole represents our guilty conscience staring back at us... We’re destroying our own branch, and we couldn’t care less. 📷 by @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social 🙏

Young Pinus cembra recently damaged by an avalanche against the backdrop of a glacier entirely damaged by human activity! 🧊🔥 Bossons Glacier today 🤍 📷 by @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social 🙏

Glacier des Bossons towered by 4,000ers (Mont Blanc du Tacul, 4,248 m and Mont Maudit, 4465 m) as seen from La Jonction today! 🏔️🧊🥰 Most icy landscape of the rest of your life... 🔥 📷 by @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social 🙏

Where does the altar stone come from – that central 6-tonne sandstone megalith at Stonehenge (S England)? 🧐 Probably 700 km away, via the Dogger Bank, as shown by combined erratic provenance and glacial transport modeling! 🧊 Still a long way to go! 💪 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Large subfossil log sampled in Trient Glacier lateral moraine last year and just tree ring dated to the 1285/86 CE winter! 🧊🌲💍 Means that the Medieval early-LIA advance has reached levels of late-LIA advances, as we already show elsewhere in the Alps (journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…)

Paris vient de connaître sa première vague de chaleur au sens strict en mai en 153 ans de mesures à la station de Montsouris. Autre chiffre: avec 8 jours consécutifs à 32°C ou il faut remonter à l'épisode caniculaire d'août 2003 pour retrouver une telle séquence.

Melting glaciers today in Chamonix! 🧊💧💦 We just out fom the longest May period with average temperature >2°C (5 days) at Aiguille du Midi (3842 m asl), a threshold for cryospheric change at high elevation glaciers! 🏔️🔥 Picture: @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social Data: Xavier Cailho

This is Camp IV on Mt Everest (~7,900 m), the highest campsite on Earth and the final stop before the summit. What should be one of the most extraordinary places on the planet has, in many ways, become one of the ugliest faces of Everest's commercialisation. Abandoned tents, empty oxygen bottles, food cans, torn gear, and other waste are scattered across the South Col, turning the world's highest campsite into a graveyard of climbing equipment. The mountain deserves better. Video ©: Angelina Angelova.

'Over 80% of Holocene glacial advances occurred within chronological uncertainty of at least one large (M ≥ 7) eruption in the northern hemisphere. Our results suggest that volcanic impacts can persist well beyond aerosol lifetimes' 🌋🧊📉 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
