That's the retreat of this glacier.

These changes in the alpine world are accelerating.

In 2002, during the International Year of Mountains, the Alpine Carpathian partnership was initiated and launched by the Ministry of the Environment and Territory of Italy, then President of the Alpine Convention.

He lives in a small Alpine village in Austria.

Brown Glacier, Heard Island, had retreated by 50 metres over three years, with the lower slopes of the glacier having lost as much as 11 metres in thickness, while Collins Glacier, King George Island, retreated by some 200 metres between 1987 and 2005.

We're now at the Columbia Glacier in Alaska.

This is pitched on a glacier at 17,500 feet.

And to the right hand side of us was this great Khumbu Glacier.

The one glacier up in Greenland that puts more ice into the global ocean than all the other glaciers in the northern hemisphere combined is the Ilulissat Glacier.

In response to this request, the Office promoted an Alpine Carpathian partnership.

The Global Information Research Initiative for Alpine Environments is establishing and maintaining a worldwide long term observation network in Alpine environments to document biodiversity and habitat changes and to assess risk.

And all the way along the glacier we saw these big pools of melting ice.

No. It was retreating through the winter because it's an unhealthy glacier.

This glacier has doubled its flow speed in the past 15 years.

But this glacier caved into the water and a seal got on it.

According to scientists, in 100 years all the mountain glacier will be gone.

We might wind up there yet, too, chasing Fry over the old glacier!

This lake has been formed in the last couple of years because of the melting of the glacier.

The entry into force of the Alpine Convention, however, gave hope that the achievement of that objective was nearer.

Like Al Gore told you, two billion people live on the water from the glacier of Himalaya.

Another important contribution towards implementation has been made by the three networks that specifically refer to the Alpine Convention, namely the Alpine Network of Protected Areas, the Alliance in the Alps network of local authorities and the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps.

When I meet a glacier for the very first time, what do I do?

Alpine ecosystems, which boast the greatest degree of plant diversity in the world, are under increasing pressure from climate change.

The Alpine Network of Protected Areas has engaged in a partnership with the managers of mountain protected areas in the neighbouring Carpathians.

So here's a food web, or a map of feeding links between species that live in Alpine Lakes in the mountains of California.

This red dot marks the Great Basin of North America, and I'm involved with an alpine biodiversity project there with some collaborators.

Set the type of variable var to type.

The Himalayan glaciers have not stopped losing mass, although they are losing it at a somewhat slower rate than before. Evidence collected on 466 glaciers by the Indian Space Applications Center from 1962 to 2004 shows a 21 loss of glacier area and a 30.8 of glacier volume.

All of that, strip it away. In the world of the arctic and alpine environments, where the ice is, it's real and it's present.

You see the glacier flowing in from the right, dropping off into the sea, camera shooting every hour.

This very basic shift in my physical orientation helped me shift my perspective in relation to the glacier.

The main stem, the main flow of the glacier is coming from the right and it's going very rapidly up that stem.

A permanent secretariat for the Alpine Convention was set up in 2003 in Innsbruck (Austria), with an office in Bozen (Italy).

In this sense the support provided by the Alpine Convention and the single contracting parties is to be continued and intensified.
