Ever wondered what a #glacier looks like from the inside? Last weekend our postdocs Christophe Ogier & Marin Kneib descended 60 m into a moulin on the #PlaineMorte glacier for surveying englacial melt channels. Photographer Pierre Jeanneret captured the stunning hidden world below ❄️🧗‍♂️🧊

Recent @glamos.bsky.social fieldwork on the #PlaineMorte glacier by @matthias-huss.bsky.social confirms what our models had already indicated: massive ice loss caused by the August heatwave in Switzerland. Even when expected, it is still striking, and sobering, to witness a glacier in its final days

So it looks from Space.
And the water is unfortunately otherwise.....⛈️🌪️🌊
