Discover Europe's Changing Glaciers

Their Past, Present and Future

See how Europe’s Beautiful Glaciers have Changed over Time!

From Iceland to the Alps

Europe is home to a diverse range of glaciers. Vast ice caps cover Iceland, valley glaciers carve out the Alps and Norway has everything in between. Every region holds its own unique glaciers in some of the most pristine landscapes. 

Because of climate change, glaciers are in the centre of attention. Though seemingly untouchable, these ice-cold giants actually are very vulnerable. Therefore, a lot of research is focussed on glaciers and how they behave. But all this knowledge is poorly unlocked. Until now!

Glacier Exploration

Glacier Change is your portal to a unique collection of photos of and information about glaciers. Discover the behaviour of these rivers of ice with the help of scientific studies, artworks, photos and satellite images. Get to know the way in which climate change is affecting glaciers and how glaciers themself shape the land in return.

A site about glaciers is never finished. New glacier biographies will be added regularly and older ones updated. Together, they are a hommage to a disappearing world.
