350 Days in the life of a retreating glacier

Not much to say about this. Scary & depressing. From 350.org.



  • "The Extreme Ice Survey is the most wide-ranging glacier study ever conducted using ground-based, real-time photography. EIS uses time-lapse photography, conventional photography, and video to document the rapid changes now occurring on the Earth's glacial ice. The EIS team has installed 27 time-lapse cameras at 15 sites in Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, and the Rocky Mountains. EIS supplements this ongoing record with annual repeat photography in Iceland, the Alps, and Bolivia."

Ugh Reminds me of the scene in Age of Stupid showing the guy in the Alps climing down 20m of ladder to get to the glacier he used to walk straight onto as a child Scary
