[2/2] This year’s melt was driven by a snow-poor winter and summer heatwaves. Glaciers below 3k m lost over 2 m of ice. Shrinking glaciers also destabilize mountains, as seen in May, when a rock–ice avalanche buried Blatten in the Lötschental. 🔗 to #GLAMOS report: doi.glamos.ch/pubs/annualr...

“This year turned out to be a little less extreme than we feared", says Matthias Huss, director of GLAMOS. “However, what worries me is that we’re getting used to these very negative years. It’s a new normal, but one that shouldn’t be there.” @matthias-huss.bsky.social @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social

#Magma under #Svartsengi in #Iceland reached 11 million cubic metres, just as the Icelandic Met Office had predicted. That is the same amount that escaped from Svartsengi in the last eruption. The likelihood of a new #eruption therefore increases.

Andrzej Bargiel has just become the first person to climb up and ski down Mt. Everest without bottled oxygen, according to RedBull.

From 27 September there is an increased likelihood of a magma intrusion and even an eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The Met Office has raised the warning level. The period during which there is an increased chance may last for up to three months. #geosciences #volcanism #iceland

On September 22, Polish climber Andrzej Bargiel reached the summit of Mount Everest (8,848 m) and skied down to base camp at 5,364 m—all without supplemental oxygen. He is the first person in history to achieve this feat. It also marks only the third Polish ascent of Everest without bottled oxygen.

A “glacial forebulge” is a long hill that forms in front of an ice sheet.🧊 In @eos.org, the authors of a recent review article give an overview of glacial forebulges, how scientists study them, and what questions remain. 🔗 buff.ly/UAsL19M #AGUPubs #Glaciers #IceSheets #Geology #Earthquakes

This round we have two pretty blue minerals which and be used as gems in pectolite and haüyne so they’re more or less tied for the art vote. I’m going to give haüyne the physics vote for fluorescence and volcanic origin. #MinCup25

Archaeologists uncover evidence of human survival in Ice Age Britain Archaeologists have discovered conclusive evidence that early humans not only lived in Britain more than 700,000 years ago but also endured one of northern Europe’s most extreme ice ages... archaeologymag.com/2025/09/evid...

This is fascism. The fact that it's in response to a brutal & unacceptable murder (the motives of which are still unknown!) doesn't mean that it isn't fascism. It is terrifying and un-American. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

Aletsch Glacier has lost 4.6 m of ice thickness at Konkordiaplatz (2800 m asl) during this summer 2025! 🧊😱 - It was 6 m during the absolute 2022 record year - 4.7 m in 2023 - 4 m in 2024 All years are now terrible... the new normal in the Alps! 🔥📈 Data by @matthias-huss.bsky.social @glamos.ch 1/

Partial crater wall collapse at Sundhnukar eruption, Iceland at 10.32 local... Captured from: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bfc... #geosciences #volcano #iceland

Volcanic activity remains fairly stable. A hole opened in the crater yesterday, in the evening a small eruption began from the opening. Movement at the outermost edges of the lava is very small, but slightly to the north. More at: www.facebook.com/Vedurstofan/... #geosciences #volcano #iceland

Nornahár (witch hair, eng. Pele’s hair) has been found on cars in Reykjanesbær. The name stems from the volcanic glass formations that fly around from the lava looking like a witch with severe hair loss has recently flown over. #iceland

Updated 12:00 local Eruption no longer confined to a single fissure at Sundhnukar. The larger estimated to be ~ 2.4 km long. A smaller fissure has opened W of Fagradalsfjall and estimated ~ 500 m in recon flight by IMO/Coast Guard. www.vedur.is/um-vi/fretti... #geosciences #volcanology #iceland
