Glaciers are melting – and have been for a long time. Scientists have studied this ancient ice and followed its transformation for more than 150 years. Join the ETH Library and ETH’s glaciologists on a fascinating journey through the history of this field of research – from daring Alpine expeditions and early theories of the Ice Age to today’s high-tech monitoring tools and urgent questions about the future.
