The Glacier – Schlatenkees

A glacier that’s shrinking, and a stream that’s getting louder. The Glacier – Schlatenkees captures the powerful meltwater flow at the lower glacier field near Matrei (Austria) a raw audio snapshot of climate-driven retreat, while the “eternal ice” is still close enough to hear.

Detailed description

In 1850, the glacier tongue of the Schlatenkees extended all the way into the Gschlösstal. Due to significant climate change, the tongue has now completely retreated. This audio recording was made at the lower glacier field of the Schlatenkees. Here, it becomes evident how sensitive the glacier is to changing climatic conditions. The recording captures the powerful flow of water emerging from the glacier – a striking testament to the melting ice. It is a unique moment to witness the eternal ice up close. However, the ongoing melt causes the ice to crack, and it will not be long before the glacier disappears entirely.
