The before and after images showing glaciers vanishing before our eyes

 When Matthias Huss first visited Rhône Glacier in Switzerland 35 years
ago, the ice was just a short walk from where his parents would park the
car. “When I first stepped onto the ice… there [was] a special feeling of
eternity,” says Matthias. Today, the ice is half an hour from the same
parking spot and the scene is very different. “Every time I go back, I
remember how it used to be,” recalls Matthias, now director of Glacier
Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS), “how the glacier looked when I was a
child.” There are similar stories for many glaciers all over the planet,
because these frozen rivers of ice are retreating – fast.
