Igloos outside the Arctic Hotel in Ilulissat on Greenland. Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Jacobshavn Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq which is the largest glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces enough water from calving icebergs in one day to provide New York with water for 1 year. Climate change has meant the glacier has speeded up and is now one of the fastest glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day and is also receeding rapidly

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.

THE PICTURE PERFECT BEAUTY OF ZERMATT
The picture-postcard town of Zermatt is one of Switzerland's best-known ski resorts.
This charming village is nestled in the upper Valais, one of the alpine cantons of Switzerland, and is around 10 km (6 miles) from the border with Italy.
Found on a 1,620 m (5,315 ft) high plateau, it sits at the foot of the highest and most photographed peak in the country, the 4,478m (14,692ft) tall Matterhorn.
This mighty mountain was one of the last alpine peaks to be conquered. And the expedition that did eventually reach the top in 1865 ended dramatically, with only three of the seven climbers surviving the attempt.
Until the mid-19th century, Zermatt was predominantly an agricultural community - its name, as well as that of the Matterhorn itself, derives from the surrounding alpine meadows, or matten.
In the German language, the town is "Zur Matte" or "in the meadow."
Zermatt has the longest winter skiing season in Europe and some of its ski runs and lifts are even open year-round.
The area boasts some 114 miles of skiing with a 5,315 foot vertical, with most of the skiing being best for intermediate and advanced skiers.
The village of Zermatt itself is geographically small, with cobbled pedestrian streets and tiny alleyways dating from the middle ages.
Traditional wooden chalets are a common sight but Zermatt also has a distinctly cosmopolitan, not to mention upmarket, atmosphere
The village can only be reached via a spectacular cog railway from the valley below.
This forms part of an extensive network of super-efficient cable cars, gondolas and cog railways that whisk skiers to the separate ski areas.
To prevent air pollution, which could obscure the panoramic views of the Matterhorn, the entire village is a combustion-engine car-f...

Langtang Valley before the Nepal earthquake
A Tamang woman in the doorway of a building in Langtang village, Langtang Valley, Nepal, 30th May 2009.
According to Dorothea Stumm, a glaciologist at the Nepal-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, a massive hanging glacier cracked when an earthquake struck at 11.56am on the 25th April 2015. The ice formed a cloud that gathered snow and rocks and then funnelled down the mountain, burying Langtang village, and creating an enormous pressurised blast. 400 residents of the village and up to 100 trekkers are believed to have been killed.

Langtang Valley before the Nepal earthquake
Female Tamang porters in traditional Tibetan dress walk together carrying loads in the Langtang Valley, Nepal, 27th May 2009. The 'Pangden' (striped, woven woollen apron) is belted with an ornate brass belt at the waist from which hangs a silver medicine spoon.
According to Dorothea Stumm, a glaciologist at the Nepal-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, a massive hanging glacier cracked when an earthquake struck at 11.56am on the 25th April 2015. The ice formed a cloud that gathered snow and rocks and then funnelled down the mountain, burying Langtang village, and creating an enormous pressurised blast. 400 residents of the village and up to 100 trekkers are believed to have been killed.

2008-07-24: Einsamer Wanderer am Eisfjord von Ilulissat (Gršnland, UNESCO-Welterbe). Die im Fjord langsam vorbeiziehenden Eisberge stammen vom Ilulissat-Gletscher, dem aktivsten Gletscher der nšrdlichsten HemisphŠre. Er bewegt sich mit bis zu einem Meter pro Stunde vorwŠrts, und durch diese Bewegung brechen an seiner Front tŠglich 20 Millionen Tonnen Eis ab - das entspricht dem Wasservolumen, das die Metropole New York in einem Jahr verbraucht!

Anniverary of the first ascent of Mount Everest
File image dated 24/09/2007 of the summit of Mount Everest (centre peak) in Nepal. The 29th May is the anniversary of the first ascent of the mountain by a British expedition led by Col John Hunt. Climbers Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached the summit on the 29th May 1953. News of their achievement arrived on the day Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in the same year.

Canada Global Warming in the Arctic Circle
The landscape of Resolute Bay in Nunavut, Canada, in the Canadian High Arctic region, reveals a patch of water in June 2007. The area has become a hotbed of scientific environmental study, as the lakes, ponds, and other bodies of water are responding to recent climate warming in the region.
There is various evidence observed in the Canadian High Arctic region to suggest that ecological changes are occurring at a noticeable rapid pace and could be attributed to global warming. Scientists are observing a greater amount of fresh water surface melt from the outlying tidewater glaciers, a possible result of lengthened melt seasons, averaging over 5 more days per decade. Image data from a time span of under 50 years reveals a 2.4% reduced surface area of the Devon Island Ice Cap. American scientists report that the Arctic ice is currently the smallest it had for the last century. Also, temperatures are being recorded well above the seasonal averages for the last half century, sometimes over 10 degrees Fahrenheit (or between 3 and 6 degrees Celsius).
In addition to rapidly melting ice and decreased surface areas, both the danger to familiar animal species (polar bears and caribou), and the emergence of new ones (mosquitoes, dolphins, robins, and finches), are further indications that the region is experiencing environmental conditions it has not previously known.

Canada Global Warming in the Arctic Circle
The landscape of Devon Island in Nunavut, Canada, in the Canadian High Arctic region, stretches out bright and clear in June 2007. Devon Island is the largest uninhabited island in the world, 500 kilometers southwest of the North Pole. The area has become a hotbed of scientific environmental study, as the lakes, ponds, and other bodies of water are responding to recent climate warming in the region.
