I've been through there a few times. Pretty country and a lot of fun for someone who doesn't see many post-glacial landscapes (rock nerd stuff).

Paleobotonists hypothesize the species may have emerged prior to the Pleistocene glaciations, during a prolonged inter-glacial period, or retreat of continental ice sheets c. 12,000 years ago. The earliest confirmed sub-fossil remains identified as Rosa pimpinellifolia are post-glacial.

Autumn In The Bernina Range (2026)

First generation alpine forest (in beautiful autumn colors) growing near the edge of a large glacial side moraine. Remaining glaciers and their surrounding ~4000 meter peaks visible in the background on the other side of the valley. Bright sunny day with clear pale blue sky with a single white cloud.

Whether you’re rambling on a river, meandering along the steady incline of Going-to-the-Sun Road, or awaiting the approach of a distant mountain goat, Glacier National Park in Montana is a place that reveals itself to you at its own whim, in its own good time.

You can do a lot at Glacier National Park…and you can do it all slowly.

Leaving Bernina (2026)

(One of many "penultimate" looks back[1] to where we came down from on our most recent tour[2] in this mountain range. The path comes through the steep rocky cliffs and brown slopes above the moraine on the very right...)

First generation mixed forest in beautiful autumn colors growing on the rocky ground in the trough of a large glacial U-shaped valley, its formative glaciers and the surrounding ~4000 meter peaks towering in the background. Clear pale blue sky. Most of the valley is already in semi-shade, only the top slopes and heavily glaciated summit regions in the back are still catching the sun.

[Article: F-Day plus 266]

It's been 266 days since we were flooded out of our home, and progress on repairs still seems to be glacial. It's still unclear if we'll be back by Christmas as delays and excuses continue to stack up. But the most-tragic thing is that working-around this temporary […]

Along Lassen Highway in the Volcanic National Park, there was this old guy just hanging out. Rather bold of him. But a nice place for sunning.

The image shows a large Pleistocene glacial erratic boulder perched on a rocky outcrop near the Bumpass Hell Trailhead in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California.Key Features Type: A glacial erratic—a large boulder transported and deposited by a glacier far from its origin. Shape: It has a worn, rounded shape caused by glacial movement and post-glacial meltwater abrasion. Location: Found near the Bumpass Hell Trailhead in northeastern California, with views overlooking the surrounding volcanic landscape

@colinburgess The short answer seems to be that we don’t know yet. There’s a good review of the (many) hypotheses in a 2022 review by Theunis Piersma and colleagues (link below). It’s not that bar-tailed godwits migrated a shorter overall distance during the glacial maxima, as the Beringia part […]

Fellaria, Diptych (2025)

Two things of note here (same place, opposite directions):

1) A famous dam in the Italian Alps, constructed 1958-64 using pioneering techniques which led to the development of roller-compacted concrete for dam constructions […]

Abstract photo of a high alpine water reservoir with a section of its dam and very low water level, exposing the surrounding terrain. The water is saturated with glacial flour and has a milky turquoise color. Bright sunny day. A highly abstract photo of the same reservoir and several layers and levels of tall rock faces of different colors and textures are leading up to the glacier and its outflows/waterfalls near the top edge of the image. The rocks in the bottom quarter of the image have a pale orange color, showing the former water level of the now almost empty reservoir. Small isolated Swiss pines are growing on some of the nearby grassy slopes above.

Green Bay Trail in Glencoe on a foggy day last week. Maybe a little like how it looked to travelers in 1832 (when it became a federal post road) or even in the Middle Ages when travelers were following a well worn trail along the glacial ridge here.

More than a third of Western states’ glacial cover has been lost since 1950s as planet warms
Six Western states, including Oregon, have lost more than one-third of their glacial cover since 1950 and more than 300 glaciers in those states have disappeared entirely as the earth has rapidly warmed, a first-of-its-kind inventory and analysis confirms. The post More than a third of Western states’ glacial cover has been lost since 1950s as planet warms appeared first on Lincoln Chronicle.
