Palü Glacier seen from Alp Grüm

view map

1972: After a phase of strong glacier recession the entire lower rock wall has become ice-free. The tongue now terminates in a corrie above 2300 m.a.s.l. A moderate re-advance follows until 1986.
2007: After receding even more, the glacier no longer descends even over the upper rock wall. It has lost almost exactly 1000 metres of its total length since 1910

A beautiful composition, and the information certainly gives one pause for thought as to what's happening to our world. V.
