Will our mountains lose their snow and ice?
And does it matter if they do?
These questions are answered by BAS glaciologist Dr Hamish Pritchard in a major new UNESCO report for the UN International Year of Glaciers' Preservation.

Icebergs? The size of a city? 90 miles from the UK? Must be a joke, right?
No! Our new paper in @natcomms.nature.com shows massive tabular icebergs broke off the UK in the last ice age before the UK’s ice shelves disintegrated from climate warming.
