The lake helps the glacier calve off chunks of ice. There is also the heat from the lake that speeds up meltdown.

It shows how little snowfall we had during the 2004-2005 season. The previous year's measurements reflected a different situation, when meltdown was accelerated by high temperatures during the summer of 2003.

The measurements show long-term trends. Glaciers react to climate change, and warmer temperatures in the Alps are reflected in the results.

Ice cold failure is the first step toward the heated moments known as success.

The opener at Diamond Lake is delayed. Please don't test the ice.

He who cannot put his thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of dispute.
