Climate change: a disaster for glaciers

In the summer of 2022, the "Mer de Glace" (the "Sea of Ice" on the back of the Mont Blanc, France) lost 3.5 metres of its thickness. Gray dominates more and more.

Fellow photographer wim van de meerendonk posted 2 photos of the glacier together with a time lapse of 38 years:
