Current state of Arcouzan Glacier below N face of Mont Valier (2838 m, Ariege)! 🏔🧊 The easternmost and one of the smallest, lowermost and most remote in the Pyrenees!

Taconnaz and Bossons glaciers towered by Aiguille du Midi tonight! 🤩 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

Mer de Glace 1992 | 2026 Largest French glacier, 32 years ago and today! 😭 Glacier retreat 100% due to anthropogenic activity over this period! 📷 via @MiguelMorenatti

0.7°C at 5:30 am at 4750 m asl! 🔥 Crazy temp this morning on Mt Blanc... 🌡🥵

First time I'd seen my study site from so high up! 🏔️🤍 Wild view of Arsine glacier and its proglacial lakes few days ago from top of the headwall! 🧊🔥 To learn the full story of this small piece of ice during the Holocene, see here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Tree rings are the best proxies for Holocene climate reconstruction! 🌲💍 This work shows that Northern Hemisphere Common Era natural variability was ca 4°C, extended to 5.5 °C during the 21st century! 🔥 What are considered "warm periods" (RWP, MCA) aren't really that hot compared to the 21st c.! 📈

Today's aerial view of the Tour Ronde rock avalanche deposit that occurred last sunday! 😲 An allegory of a north face of a 3,800 m peak in the 21st century... not a single ounce of ice left! 🔥🧊 📷 Gilles Léger 🙏

Glacier Noir (Écrins Massif) 18th Aug. 1953 | 19th July 2026 Debris-covered glaciers are no exception! 🧊🔥 The hanging glacier of the Coolidge east face no longer exists btw ✝️ 📷 1953: Eaux et Forêts

A rock avalanche of impressive magnitude took place yesterday (July 19) on the north face of Tour Ronde (3,793 m asl) ! 🔥 A summit where this kind of events became recurrent in recent years with warming permafrost... 📽️ Maxim Foygel

Barre des Ecrins (4,102 m asl) from top of Pic du Glacier Blanc (3,527 m asl) yesterday ! 😍 Aside from the feeling of facing a gorgeous glacial landscape, snow conditions are apocalyptic for July, with a snowline already ~3,100 m! 🧊🔥 Likely on track to set a new ice ablation record this year! 📈

Glacier du Casset (NE Face Les Agneaux, 3,664 m asl) Juillet 2007 | Juillet 2026 At this pace in the Alps, all mountain glaciers (≠ valley glaciers) located entirely below 3,500 m will be gone within next two decades at most! 🧊🔥

Meije orientale (3,891 m asl) and Homme Glacier at sunset today! 🥰

La Meije (3,983 m asl) this evening! 😍 Drier than ever! 🧊🔥

Love this view of the Avérole Valley showcasing the perfect pyramid of the ice-capped Pointe de Charbonnel (3,752 m asl), the highest peak in the Graian Alps! 🏔️🧊 Background left is Baounet Glacier, one of the largest of the Upper Maurienne Valley 📷 Paul Helbronner (first decade of the 20th c.) ⏳

View across Tour Glacier towered by Le Chardonnet (3,824 m asl) from above the Albert 1er hut today! 🧊🔥 Proglacial lake in formation (right)! 🌊 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

The Mont Pourri (3,779 m) and Dôme de la Sache (3,591 m) glacier complex a few days ago! 🏔️🧊 Mind-blowing withdrawal of what was once one of the most beautiful glacial systems in the Vanoise (Gurraz/Savinaz Gl.)! 🔥

After three heatwaves since May, we are living in France the worst drought in history! 🔥💧 Soil moisture has reached level unprecedented this early in the summer — exceeding the levels recorded in 1976, 2022, and 2025 on the same date! 📈 Via @MystereMeteo

Dent Blanche (4,357 m asl, VS) July 2014 | July 2026 It's hard not to be moved by what we've done to these places in such a short time...💔 📷 2026: @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

This what La Niche des Drus looks like amid this scorching summer! Vanished...🔥 This 200 m-high (usually) snow/ice steep ramp enclosed in the NW face of Les Drus, has seen two ski descents in history ⛷️ Seeing it like this, you wonder how it was even possible! 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

5:00 am, the 'White Hour' over Mont Blanc few days ago! 🧊🤍
