Switzerland's glaciers suffered their second worst melt rate in 2023 after record 2022 losses.
How the Rhône glacier retreated over 15 years A tourist who returned to a Swiss glacier with his wife to recreate a treasured photo from 15 years ago was devastated by what he found. In a photo taken in August 2009, Duncan and Helen Porter pose right next to the ice, with a blanket of white stretching behind them. But in a photo captured in August 2024, part of the glacier has become a lake, and there is more bare rock than snow.
It’s obvious enough from the photo, if you have half a functioning brain.’ Software developer Duncan drove a campervan back to Switzerland with his wife and teenage daughters Maisie and Emily, as the first photo had been hanging in his kitchen and he wanted to show them a place that meant a lot to him, he told the Guardian. ‘But obviously the circumstance of this photo was drastically different,’ he said.
