Ten gorgeous glaciers!

TIME : 2016/2/26 10:33:54

This week Forbes Traveler has run a feature entitled “10 Gorgeous Glaciers“. It caught my eye not only because of the beautiful pictures but also because I have a particular interest in this subject. Few of you will know this, but my PhD was in glaciology. Alas, Greenland – where I worked – doesn’t get a look-in; instead, the following make the shortlist:

  • Biafo Glacier, Pakistan
  • Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina
  • Glacier Bay, Alaska
  • Furtwängler Glacier, Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
  • Pasterze Glacier, Austria
  • Vatnajökull Glacier, Iceland
  • Yulong Glacier, China
  • Fox and Franz Josef, New Zealand
  • Athabasca Glacier, Canada
  • Antarctica
