View down-valley from jumbled ice blocks near the foot of a glacier, outwash gravel and green vegetation in the distance

View up-valley towards the foot of a glacier, between rock outcrops it last reached in the 1970s. Glacier extends upwards from outwash gravel plain to a horizon in the mountains far above

View into a steep-walled valley with a retreating glacier in the distance, covered in shattered rock

Franz Josef Glacier, January 1990. The glacier reached the valley floor at the time, and it seemed reasonably safe to walk straight onto the ice. The third photo is December 2003, it still reached the valley floor, just, but had thinned a lot and was no longer safe to approach from below.
