Last summer 84 out of 91 glaciers in the Swiss Alps retreated by as much as 600 feet from their extent in 2004, an alert reader informs me.
There's been a recent post here over the events in the Arctic last summer and in Greenland as well.
Breakup of the Ross ice shelf in Antarctica has been seen over the last year. Last fall the Antartic glaciers were observed to breakup at an unusual rate. But perhaps as a result of the current political climate of NASA, recent pictures of Antartica aren't easily accessible: about the latest that can be easily Googled are from 2002.
