The animations were created byglaciologist Dr. Frank Paul, and form part of the ESA's Climate ChangeInitiative, which is combining datasets to build the best possiblepicture of glacier movement.

The animations are published today (26 November ... slow glacier change are compressed into one second, meaning glacier movement is sped up some 800 million times. "The most interesting insight ...

Pauls explains why he made them: “The animations are a very practical ... which speeds up the glacier movement by approximately 8 million times, and you’ll see the huge slabs of ice aren ...

The animations of four regions — Panmah, Baltoro, Skamri-Sarpo Laggo, and Shaksgam — compress 25 years of satellite data into one second so glacier movement is sped up 800 million times.

According to a scientific study started in the 1990s, the park could lose even its largest glaciers by 2030. This animation, using images from the Landsat 5 and 8 satellites, shows the glaciers ...
