NZ glacier experts are flying round the Alps at the moment shooting glaciers (with cameras and GPS units), conducting their annual ice mass balance audit. TV One sent a reporter to see what Trevor Chinn and Jim Salinger were up to, and on Sunday broadcast a nice little item about the process. Highlights: Jim Salinger rolls out his new favourite measure of volume, the Rangitoto, and Trevor Chinn can be heard commenting “They’ve bloody wrecked a glacier”… Last year’s survey results here, with link to background article.

Thanks for this Gareth… I may need to find this sort of stuff when out in the blogosphere we hear about the advance of NZ’s glaciers (well, two of them) as conclusive proof that global warming isn’t happening.
