| The Claridenfirn is site of one of the longest mass balance series on Earth |
 |
| Two groups of climbers crossing the Claridenfirn |
 |
| The retreat of Rhonegletscher is exposing a new lake. In the shadow one can see an area of the glacier that is covered in white tarp to reduce melting of ice and protect an ice cave. |
 |
| The upper Rhonegletscher still has a fair amount of snow on it, because of a very snow rich winter 2012/13. However, high temperatures in the summer have melted most of this snow. |
 |
| Unteraargletscher has retreated dramatically, like so many other glaciers in the Alps. The lower glacier is now entirely dirt covered. |
 |
| Aletschgletscher is the biggest glacier in the Alps and still a magnificent sight. |

| The tongue of Aletschgletscher |
 |
| Riedgletscher with Mischabel mountains. My home town is located at the bottom of this glacier |
 |
| Turtmanngletscher with the magnificent Weisshorn |
 |
| A rockglacier in the Val d'Anniviers is flowing into a glacier. |
 |
| Gornergletscher with Monte Rosa |
 |
| Findelengletscher. This was the field site for my diploma thesis, but most of the study site has melted away in the past 20 years. |
