With a pure alpinist's approach, failure is common, but it's important to set an example for both the public and future climbers, says Millerioux.

In 2025 Rocky Mt. glaciers in Alberta fared poorly. Here are several examples of glaciers that lost all snow cover. This leads to accelerated melting, thinning and fragmentation. A glaciers "income" is snow and this year was all expenditures (melt) no income. #glaciology #climatescience

All the retreat you see here is caused by human activity, and it will only stop when the last cubic metre of ice has melted! 📈💧

The Atlantis Massif is around 16km across, and climbs 4.2km, to within 700 metres of the sea surface.
I know these are just numbers, so - it's about the size of Mount Rainier (Washington State).
To help you imagine this, here's a pic of Mount Rainier.
Now imagine that underwater.
