#NowPlaying yet another record I somehow missed last year, 2024's 'A Distant, Violent Shudder' by Boston, Massachusetts' GLACIER. Heavy/beautiful instrumental post-metal or post rock. Strong Pelican or Isis vibes. Recommended.

McGinnis Peak from the Black Rapids Glacier on a windy day in the Eastern Alaska Range.
That’s not cloud cover—just snow being torn from the summit by strong alpine winds.
At the edge of the Gabriel Icefall on the Gulkana Glacier in the Eastern Alaska Range. When you realize how those boulders got there, it's not a place you want to hang out for too long.

Wang concludes that the #scientific community should pay more attention to such coastal #glacier #basins. “Complete #disintegration” of the four glaciers in East Antarctica could trigger global #sea #level rise of more than 7m, he says.
“To the Sea”
The Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in Iceland, fed by the melting ice of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and emptying into the sea carrying ice with it which will be deposited on Diamond Beach.

Glaciers in all European regions saw a net loss of ice in 2024.
Glaciers in Scandinavia and Svalbard experienced their highest rates of mass loss on record and saw the largest annual glacier mass loss of any glacier region globally.

Fifth day of the previous year's #Switzerland trip. Taking the Bernina Line, highest railway crossing in Europe, one of the steepest in the world. We went from #SanktMoritz to #Tirano, and then changed to a regular Italian train to #Milano.
First view: #Morteratsch station. When the station was built in 1908, the plain next to it was the lip of the Morteratsch glacier. The glacier is now 3 km away.
