The southernmost glacier in Norway is about to extinct soon! 😰
Breifonn was not exactly a small glacier at the end of the LIA (6 km²).
But only scattered patches totalising 0.15 km² remain today, meaning disappearance in the next few years... 😱

2025 was a record year for both number of fires and burnt area in the UK, according to the satellite record.

Underwater curtains and reflective beads are ‘unrealistic and dangerous polar geoengineering ideas’
Underwater curtains and reflective beads are ‘unrealistic and dangerous polar geoengineering ideas’
Climate research group says such ideas are diverting attention from cutting fossil fuel use
Proposals to fight the impact of the climate crisis at the poles, from giant underwater curtains to scattering glass beads across the ice, have been dismissed by a group of scientists as an “unimaginably expensive” and “dangerous” distraction.
Geoengineering, which includes blocking sunlight with airborne particles and thickening ice with pumped seawater, has become highly divisive among scientists. Its proponents argue that, with cuts in carbon emissions going far too slowly, exploring options for “emergency brakes” would be valuable. Continue reading...

Ólafur Arnalds: "It felt like this music already existed and it was our job to channel it."
When Eoin French – better known as Talos – passed, his friend Ólafur Arnalds was left with demos, grief, and a single question – how do you complete a record when its co-creator is gone?

Mount Rainier’s glaciers are disappearing. What happens when they’re gone?
Several of Mount Rainier’s glaciers are already gone, experts say, and others aren’t far behind. The News Tribune asked what that means for visitors.
