Deglaciation – surveying the ice
29.08.2025 – 12.07.2026
Fabian Oefner - Timelines: Rhone Glacier (2019) | Unknown: Glacier table on the Rhone Glacier, 29 August 1895
We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition on Thursday, 28 August 2025.
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.
Curated by Nicole Graf (ETH Library Picture Archive) and Elias Hodel (Chair of Glaciology, ETH Zurich)

The exhibition is free of charge and open to the public during opening hours.
