Hello Heinz,
your three photos very impressively show the retreat of this glacier. Unfortunately, this significant retreat is not only observed here but with all others as well. Whether the protective measures, covering glaciers in summer with a special fabric, really help seems more than questionable to me in view of these pictures.
Beautiful photo
Best regards, Christine

Hello Christine and Jörg,
thank you for your comment. The changes are obvious and - as you, Christine, correctly mention - widespread. I think that in the foreseeable future the situation will not improve despite international summits and other efforts. Unfortunately, from my point of view, the discussion tends to drift more towards a matter of belief, as scientists can be found to support a variety of future scenarios shaped by specific interests and preferences.
Regards, Heinz

There is still plenty of snow in the mountains, but in the valley—like here between Martigny and Sion—the apricot trees are already blooming.
