Briksdalsbreen Glacier remembered

A look at Briksdalsbreen Glacier and its lake in Norway, taken in Aug 2005. We travelled to this from Olden, on Nordfjord and was astounded by the beauty of it. See PiP
Unfortunately, we see it here before its impending death! - I was astonished to see yesterday, that this view has almost disappeared in the 14 years since we were here, due presumably to global warming. I did in fact manage to get underneath the ice here too. Only the very top is now visible as ice but the modern visitor have a few splendid waterfalls from the melting top of this in Summer.
See the decline of the glacier here.
Another from my Panoramio collection.
PIP. Enjoy full size.

Good to see you George. You, more than most, have sen our world at its extremes. I bet there is an awful lot of Antarctica missing since you was last there. Although I write and think about the dangers of GW I still drive a big old diesel car - time for a change soon!

Cheers, Herb

I know where you are coming from Susanne. The reflections were stunning. As you say the folk gave good scale too but the glacier reached far higher than this snap shows. I think you too will have seen other such scenes around our world, changing rapidly for the worse!
