This photo set was provided by Jordi Camins Just, GELICEHIELO, jordi@camins.com. Jordi Camins is a mountaineer, skier and regular observer of glaciological phenomena in the Pyrenees and other mountain ranges all over the world. He collaborates with collaborations with the Boletin Glaciológico Aragonés.

In 1984 the Pyrenees mountains still had 41 glaciers with a total surface area of 8.10 square kilometers. Recession is rapid, and only very small remnant glaciers, mostly in northern or northeasten orientation, remain. These photo comparisons document the rapid disappearance of ice in the Pyrenees.
