Glacier in the Alps in 1939 and today ( at the same time of the year); it disappeared !
And finally, a picture from Irene Joliot-Curie's album (from a small exhibition outside the Curie museum in Paris). She took it in 1939 also in Mont Blanc massif, at the summit of Mt Tondu. In 2023 the Glacier de Tré-la-Tête has hugely receded

I was surprised that the Compagnie du Mt Blanc doesn't mention climate change in their ~2h exhibition on Mont Blanc massif and mountaineering at the Aiguille du Midi.
Yet the station is covered with sensors to anticipate rock falls and weakening of the structure due to the melting of permafrost.

The school of physics was founded in 1951 by Cécile DeWitt-Morette, a French physicist then postdoc in the US.

This picture of the Mer de Glace, which is displayed in the school, was taken two years before; since then it has lost ~2,5km in length and 200m in thickness.

We are profoundly grateful to the people worldwide who continue to support Ukraine in every way possible. We are ordinary Ukrainians who simply want to live, so we choose to defend ourselves with every means we have. Even if U.S. leaders turn away, we will not abandon the ideals of independence.
