20120113_IMG_7796.jpg Stone stripes on Coniston Old Man in the Lake district, UK. These patterned ground features are caused by freeze thaw cycles which heaves the larger stones into lines down slope. Such patterned ground has become less common as winters have become milder.

IMG_0455_skiing.jpg Cairngorm Ski resort in the Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland, UK. A run of mild winters through the 1990's and 2000's meant that good ski conditions were far less common than previously.

366W5642_cool.jpg The Russells Glacier draining the Greenland icesheet inland from Kangerlussuaq on Greenlands west coast. This glacier has speeded up in recent years and is also receeding rapidly due to human induced climate change. Greenland has warmed nine degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. Scientists believe the glacier is moving faster as increased quantities of meltwater are flowing down through moulins to reach the base of the glacier which then acts as a lubricant and allows the glacier to flow faster.

366W5919_melting.jpg An Inuit fishing boat sails through Icebergs from the Jacobshavn glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and is the largest glacier outside of Antarctica. It calves enough ice in one day to supply New York with water for one year. It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day (19 metres per day before 2002) and has also receeded rapidly (40 km since 1850) due to human induced climate change as temperatures have risen in Greenland by 9 degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. An underwater moraine at the mouth of the fjord grounds the largest icebergs causing a backlog of ice completely blocking the entire length of the fjord with ice.

IMG_1245_cool.jpg Melt water on the Greenland ice sheet near camp Victor north of Ilulissat. The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet outside of Antarctica. Temperatues have risen by nine degrees fahrenheit in Greenland in the last 60 years due to human induced climate change. This is causing the ice sheet to melt at unprecedented rates which is deeply worrying as the ice sheet contains enough water to raise global sea levels by nine metres.

IMG_7395_protest.jpg A tourist at Jokulsarlon ice lagoon, one of the most visited places in Iceland. It has been created by the rapid retreat of the Breidamerkurjokull glacier which sweeps down off the Vatnajokull ice cap. Ice bergs calve off the front and float into the lagoon before floating out to sea when small enough. All of Icelands glaciers are retreating rapidly, and are predicted to disapear completely in the next 100 years. James Bond and Batman movies have been filmed at the ice lagoon.

IMG_6103_ice marker.jpg This stake shows the dramatic rate at which the Langjokull ice cap is retreating. It was placed at the edge of the ice sheet in the summer of 2009. 12 months later the ice cap has melted and retreated about 200 metres.

IMG_6122_tourist guide.jpg A twenty ton ice explorer truck owned and run by Arngrimur Hermannsson ( Arni). He uses the truck to take tourists onto the Langjokull ice cap. Like all Icelands glaciers it is melting rapidly and predicted to disappear within 100 years. As Arni says, every time I come up hear, the glacier has retreated a bit further.
