The tongue of the largest glacier in the Alps from Belalp tonight (6:20 pm)! 😍 Anytime soon the front will not be visible anymore from this famous belvedere... 😰 🙏 @ABettmeralp for today's pic and comparison!
@subfossilguy @ABettmeralp LOVE Bettmeralp, my favourite place on earth. Went there for the first time end of 70ies as a kid, last time was 2019. Couldn´t believe my eyes. The glacier is melting at record speed, it´s really devastating to watch..😭
@subfossilguy @ABettmeralp Woah, not far from the Tyndall monument. Quite a symbol.
@subfossilguy @ABettmeralp So, I guess it won't be long before the Vikings return and start farming again?
@subfossilguy @ABettmeralp This is a heartbreaking and powerful comparison. As a mountain trail runner, I witness this retreat firsthand. It's a potent reminder that the places we love are disappearing, and it's the reason why we need action on an unprecedented scale.
@subfossilguy @wmiddelkoop @ABettmeralp The pictures are from very different locations! Stop faking!
