Personally I believe I am the last person to be leading a discussion on climate change but let me put these two photo’s from Heard Island out there and you draw your own conclusions.

This photo is of the Vahsel Glacier and was taken in 1954

This photo was taken from the same location in 2012.  The change in thickness of the glacier ice location of the terminal face is dramatic

And in 3 weeks time I’ll be heading south to Herad Island to take photo’s from the same location to record the change over the past 4 years.
