Riverboarding Of Great Aletsch Glacier, Bernese Alps, Valais, Switzerland

As for many other glaciers, records show a major longer-term retreat trend. The Aletsch Glacier receded by 100 m (330 ft) between 2005 and 2006.
Photo opportunity
On August 18, 2007, photographer Spencer Tunick used hundreds of naked people in a "living sculpture" on the Aletsch Glacier in a photo shoot which he claimed was intended to draw attention to global warming and the shrinking of the world's glaciers. The temperature was about 10 °C (50 °F) at the time of the photo shoot. The 600 participants on the shrinking glacier claimed that they had volunteered for Tunick (a collaboration with Greenpeace) to let the world know about the effects of global warming on the melting Swiss glaciers.
