    I was born in the Alps and now live on the opposite side of the world 🇦🇺 I was in Chamonix and hiked other areas during last year’s summer heat wave . It made me so incredibly sad. We had temperatures of over 25C at 2500m. I witnessed the total absence of mid altitude wildlife such as marmots as it was simply too hot for them. All the streams were gushing with glacial melts and you could literally see the imminent death of the La Grave glaciers in real time.

      I was in the Eastern Alps last year. When we arrived at the summit (around 3800m) at 8 o' clock, it already had 8°C. The same path we used to climb the upper glacier was now covered by a small stream of water with a varying water level around 5-10cm. I agree, seeing this really makes one sad.

      That’s because it takes a long time for the ice that built up during a Little Ice Age to melt. Has nothing to do with climate change, except that the climate change 200 years ago and made it warm enough so we didn’t have problems growing crops. Don’t let the propaganda get to you. CO2 is plant food and has never warmed this planet. There’s no evidence anywhere whatsoever, no peer reviewed paper it’s just pure nonsense. Look at the ice core data.

      This year for the first time I saw signs against open fire in forests around my city. I don't live in California. I live in a mild climate in Central Europe. And yet droughts are becoming an issue. There's a possibility we will have to start water rationing during Summer. Not to mention that mild winters don't kill off the bugs underground which makes them more of an issue for farmers. Both droughts and pests cause food prices to raise
      But there's no human harm caused by global warming
      Not to mention the new waves of refugees coming soon to Europe. This time they will be climate refugees. Equally desperate to move in inspite of the growing anti refugee sentiments. Yeah, sure. Political destabilisation of Europe historically has always ended well for the rest of the world

    I've been going to the French alps on holiday every summer since I was 7 months old. I'm only 20 but even I have seen first hand how fast Mont Blanc and the glaciers have melted. This summer we went on a 3-day hike, we were between an altitude of 1900m and 2800m at 10 in the morning and the temperature were above 25°C. It's devastating and honestly really scary to think about these landscapes slowly disappearing.

    Very well done, and well researched video, Aidin. I am a mountaineering guide myself on Mount Rainier, here in Washington state. We are experiencing the same sort of thing as the Alps. Our glaciers here are similarly melting at an alarming rate, and it seems that every year, the climbing season where it is considered safe to take clients up onto the glaciers seems to shrink and shrink. Not long ago at all, we used to climb from April to October. Now, we’ve just had to shut down again in mid August because of no safe route to the summit. Most people don’t think of climate change too much, or if they do, they don’t personally see any way it affects them. Living near the mountains all of my life, and my hobbies and employment depending on them, I see the effects of climate change every year, and especially over the last decade or so, looking back. Unfortunately once the snow and ice melts, it never seems to come back, even on a very good snow year. The summers get warmer and warmer, as the freezing level climbs higher and higher. We can see every year new parts of the mountains exposed, that have been covered in ice for countless thousands of years. My hope is that we start voting for climate action now - not years or decades later before significant change in our trajectory is too little, too late.

      Please get a grip of actual science. It doesn't depend on "humans being around to document" something. We can measure into the past way beyond live documentation. We have mapped the relevant cycles far into the past and we can measure the speed of change now and compare it to the speed of change then.

    I have been fortunate enough to climb all the 4000m peaks & ski in the Alps for 30+ years. I have witnessed the shrinking of the Mer de Glace with my own eyes, annual photographs and sore muscles from the additional metal steps year on year.
    In February this year I skied the Vallee Blanche for what I believe will be my last time. The lower half now resembles a polished ice rink with the rubble field and the metal steps to finish. 5 days ago I took my young children to Cham’ to see Daddy’s mountains and had the realisation that I may never stand on the summit of Mont Blanc wih them. The same scene was apparent on a trip to Zermatt, looking up from Randa & Tasch towards the Mischabel chain. Where once there was ice, now crumbling rock.

They died doing what they loved but I still feel sad when people lose their lives in accidents on the mountains as from many of the accounts I`ve read many lives could have been saved if they`d turned back or stayed away when there was weather or avalanche warnings. Sometimes with even the most amount of careful preparation, freak accidents happen where people are in the wrong place at the wrong time and nothing could have prevented their deaths but I somehow feel there are too many gung ho risk takers nowadays who are overly confident about their skills, terrain, weather etc etc and lose out. Because of the popularity of Bear Grylls and other idiots like him, too many people think they`re invincible and think nothing will happen.

    Just got back from New Zealand's southern alps, Fox Glacier and Franz Josef glacier and what I saw compared to ten years ago was shocking. The glaciers have receded massively. Landslides littered the roads, whole mountainsides had collapsed in landslides, what snow fell fell incredibly late in the season, and their was a dusting of snow on the majority of the alps where once there was thick, persistent snow on these mountains for months on end. I was shocked how warm it was. Most mountaineering and trekking routes are becoming more unstable. I felt palpably that climate change is here and it's only just getting warmed up.

      Same here in Austria. All predictions for natural water resources were always very much in favor of Austria compared to some of its neighbors due to the Alps covering much of its surface. What no one expected was how quickly the Eastern, less mountainous parts of the country would dry up after a "few" years of unusual heat. At this point, municipal administrations are considering restrictions on private swimming pools and "excessive" private gardening for hotter months.
      I guess it goes without saying that the more level regions in question are also the ones providing most of our national agriculture...

    As a kid around '95 I was at the Mt Blanc, took the train up, and from the deck in the distance we saw a small ice and rock avalanche. Only one I've seen in my life but man, for such a small one it was quite impressive.

    I was at Mer de Glace in May. From the end station, looking at the valley where just 20, 30, 100 years ago was a glacier, but now is just rock and soil, was one of the most depressing sights and feelings I've been into over the last several years.
    We are frogs, just sitting and slowly boiling ourselves alive. :(

    From being randomly recommended your video "Sounds of the Pacific Northwest" to becoming my favourite channel on this platform. I've fallen in love with hiking and going to the mountains. I go once every year now. There's something that's just soothing up there. Something that makes me wanna throw my phone away and disappear up there forever. The thrill of looking down when I summitted my first and only peak is something I will never forget.

    This documentary hit me way harder than I ever expected. I really love the alps and seeing them fall apart this rapidly is just heartbreaking. It gives me even less hope for the future generations and the current one.

    I visited real mountains for the first time last year, and went to see the Pasterze glacier in Austria, near the highest point at Grossglockner. I was nearly moved to tears when I saw what was left of it compared to what my parents had seen 20 years earlier. Seeing how much ice melted in the past few centuries makes my gut churn. I felt a deep sense of sadness when I visited.

    So appreciate this vid. My only experience of glacier travel and mountaineering was in New Zealand's South Island, starting in the 1970s. Over the years since then, that landscape has changed so much, including around Mt Cook and passes we took for granted including the Copeland.
    Worrying watching the recent massive rock falls in mountainous areas. This is the first time I've heard to a reference to permafrost playing a role in iced up/frozen areas that hold the peaks together. I guess that makes sense.

    this is so crazy to me because I recognize where you are filming a lot of these shots. I was there a couple weeks ago and two years in a row I had to call off summiting Mont Blanc because of the rock falls, widening crevasse, and intense winds.
    It's unreal though that you were standing in the same spot as me in that second shot.

    I just want to make a small comment on the "regulating temperature" glaciers do.
    I visited Alaska and went on a glacier tour, this was during the Alaskan summer. The weather was chillier than my native Texas but very much not arctic around Seward.
    We went on a small ship to visit the glacier and though it was colder out at sea than on land, I will never forget the feeling being near the glaciers.
    You absolutely can feel them basically sucking the heat energy towards them, even when there is no wind coming 'off' the glacier to you.
    If you can visit a glacier you should. They are incredible. We were there and saw pieces of ice larger than our ship which carried like 100+ people fall into the ocean. We also saw all kinds of wildlife, sea mammals chilling on floating ice, whales breaching the surface.
