Glacier recession in the Swiss Alps

Panoramic views of Vadret Pers from Diavolezza in 1996, 2015 and 2023. Recession is particularly evident by the emergence of large rock outcrops in the middle right and far left. The medial moraines become more pronounced, and from 2015 to 2023 larger debris-covered areas have migrated downglacier. On the far right, Vadret da Morteratsch can be seen to be thinning (photo Alean).
