Now and then:Iceland's vanishing glaciers
Iceland's skaftafellsjokull is a spur from the nation's vatnajokull ice cap, which is europe's largest glacier.
In 1989, photographer colin baxter visited the glacier in the course of a circle of relatives holiday and took a picture of the frozen panorama.
Colin's son, dr kieran baxter, again to the exact location 30 years later.

It had dramatically retreated, with scientists estimating it had reduced in size by using approximately 400 rectangular kilometres, which is about the scale of the isle of wight, as a result of climate alternate.
Very positive, encouraging, and good news! Â Â The Earth has always changed temperatures (and dramatically too in terms of speed and extremes!) and that's all that's going on AND the glaciers have always melted and then freeze up again! Â Â You are just seeing the rock and roll baby dolls! Â Â Ow! Â Â Â Rock on and out with your cocks out!
I've just had a thought. When ice sheets and glaziers melt there is a tremendous weight lifted off the ground beneath. This post-glacial rebound has benefits very often ignored when folks seek to inflate the problems faced by climate change.
I've photographed the effects of this rebound on Scotland coastline over the years.Â
The red lines indicate the ridges where the previous coastlines have been, evidence of land rising up out of the sea, the rebound.Â
This is Gruinard Bay on the north west coast of Scotland. Which as you probably know was covered in glaziers. So Scotland's land area has increased since the ice melted.
That's something to be thankful for, isn't it?
