What photography, glaciology, climate physics, and direct observation reveal about glaciers - explained factually, precisely, and understandably.
Not much snow this winter means less protection for the summer.
The winter of 2025/26 brought only half the usual amount of fresh snow to the Engadin. What a thin snowpack means, physically speaking, for Morteratsch and Pers.
When the Sahara reaches the Alps: How microscopic particles make glacier ice melt
Iron-rich dust particles from the Sahara absorb sunlight on glacier surfaces and convert it into heat. What does this mean for glaciers?
Glaciers.Today on Rondo Weather on TV Südostschweiz
How climate change is changing our glaciers: Jürg Kaufmann shows on TV Südostschweiz how Glaciers.Today documents these changes – all for a better harmony with nature.
Two Years of Glaciers.Today – an Update with a Look to the Future
In just over a month, we'll be celebrating two years of Glaciers.Today – live and uninterrupted. However, the idea for the project came about many years earlier. Meanwhile, we've built up an online archive with over 30,000 high-resolution images.
Hidden Time: What Glacier Ice Tells Us
A glacier is more than just ice – it's a frozen archive of Earth's history. The Morteratsch Glacier shows how centuries-old ice becomes visible today – and then disappears.
High Alpine Photography Retreat
A completely new experience combining an alpine retreat and a photography workshop in the high-alpine setting of the Engadine glaciers, nestled between the famous Piz Bernina and Piz Palü.
The goal of this retreat is to take your time on location, observe the landscape, and develop a deeper, more meaningful understanding of it. Create a collection of carefully curated, individual photographs that reflect your unique vision and style.
The first 365 days of glaciers.today
See how our solar-powered cameras on Diavolezza capture the effects of climate change on glaciers, support mountain rescue, and reveal nature's hidden wonders.
Solar Storm in the Alps
On the nights of May 10th to 12th, 2024, solar storms / auroras reached a peak in activity, classified as G5 – the highest level on the geomagnetic solar storm scale. At almost 3,000 meters up on the Diavolezza, our cameras captured the breathtaking aurora display.
Lots of new snow on the glacier
This winter (2024), we've actually seen more snow on the glaciers and in higher areas, even though the climate is getting warmer. This has several implications for the future of glaciers:

GLAMOS – Guardians of Swiss Glaciers
Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) is a key project for monitoring Swiss glaciers. Led by Professor Matthias Huss from ETH Zurich, it provides data to help us understand the impacts of climate change on glaciers.
Official Launch, Together for the Glaciers: A big thank you to everyone!
The official launch of the "Glaciers Today" project on Diavolezza in the Bernina region: A groundbreaking success!
Kicking off a ten-year journey: A look at the first week.
During our first week with Glaciers.Today, we experienced the Alpine glaciers in all their magic. Find out more about the exciting start of our project.
