Stefan:
Now that's a beautiful capture. Between the people giving a sense of scale and those blues that keep sucking my eyes in, I was virtually transfixed - just staring at it.
Such a sad story, too. As others have remarked, it is not a unique one. I live near "Glacier" National Park (the US one, not the Canadian one) and it's what we're seeing here, too.
I remember visiting the Franz Joseph Glacier in New Zealand in 1995. As one drives up there are signs marking the edge of the glacier going back about 200 years. I am sure I would be horrified to go back and see a stake with the date "1995" and find out now how far back the glacier has receded.
