The first overview of the results of 91 measurements taken in fall
2010 show 82 glaciers lost in length, only three with a moderate advance
and another six who did not change the position of the glacier
terminus. This result confirm the trend of a continued glacier
retreat.
For six glaciers (Basòdino, Findelen, Gries, Pizol, Rhone, Silvretta)
the evaluated mass balance indicate a mass loss in the last period.
Snow accumulation in winter and also melt during summer are rated on
average.
The web-site has been updated with the most recent data, figures and
many new photographs.
