Ice retreat at Gorner Glacier in Switzerland is significant, as shown in the comparative images in the relatively short period of 2011 to 2021, losing at least 384 metres. The glacier has declined in both “planimetric” extent and height, becoming covered in a layer of debris as a result. Glaciers that once connected further up the valley have declined and become detached from the main ice flow. Historic length change data from the Glacier Monitoring Service Switzerland (GLAMOS) show that since the late 1800s, Gorner glacier has retreated by nearly 3km.
