Glacier Comparisons - The past and today

With my travels along the glaciers through the Alps, Norway, and Iceland
I am documenting the effect of global warming and climate change.
Glaciers are the perfect climate indicator.
While around 1850 the glaciers in the alps have reached their largested extend within the last centuries, they are constantly retreating since this time. By comparing old images from the
past and today, it is obvious, what is going on. In case you would like to use any of these comparisons for your purposes please feel free to contact me.
