The retreat of glaciers since 1850 is a well-documented effect of climate change. The retreat of mountain glaciers provide evidence for the rise in global temperatures since the late 19th century. Examples include mountain glaciers in western North America, Asia, the Alps in central Europe, and tropical and subtropical regions of South America ...
Fragments of Larsen B ice shelf lingered until 2005. Radiocarbon dating has been used to date the start of glacial retreat on Alexander Island 18,000 years ago. [1] The outermost locations like Marguerite Bay were fully deglaciated 12,000 years ago and the further inland locations continued deglaciating for an additional 3,000 years. [1]

The comparison found that the rate of glacial retreat in Greenland during the 21st century has been twice as fast as the retreat in the 20th century. Thousands of Greenland’s glaciers are ...
Retreating calving front of the Jacobshavn Isbrae glacier in Greenland from 1851 - 2006. Nature photojournalist James Balog founded the Extreme Ice Survey in 2007 after spending much of the previous two years photographing receding glaciers for National Geographic [4] and The New Yorker. Balog saw extraordinary amounts of ice vanishing with ...
During that time period, glaciers moved down to as low as 9,200 feet (2,800 m), but subsequent warming during the Holocene Epoch (starting 10,000 years ago) caused widespread melting of both continental glaciers and other alpine glaciers. Specifically, there has been a global retreat of glaciers since 1850. Given current warming trends, the ...
“For the people of Mérida, perhaps the most beloved glacier was that of Pico Bolívar, which since 2012 was a remnant of a glacier. However, people continued to say that it was a glacier until ...
