I often see this comparison of glaciers on Svalbard posted without attribution. It’s from a whole series comparing photos taken by the Norwegian Polar Institute in 1928 and by Christian Åslund, a Stockholm-based photographer, in 2002. See the others here: www.christian.se/global-warmi...

This is fine

to see such a contrast is sad. may there one day be such a sight again for future eyes to wonder about.

I thought Svalbard was a made up place until this moment

😩

:'(

Wow. Where on Svalbard is this? I was at New Ålesund for a week in March 2014. Or maybe it was 2015. Lots of ice and snow then. Made a snow cave to sleep in. Swam in the King Fjord. Wonderful week.

That Stephen Colbert glacier joke is coming true in our lifetimes. This is incredibly depressing.
