Five of the past six years have witnessed the most rapid glacier retreat on record. 2022-2024 witnessed the largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record. In many regions, what used to be called glaciers’ “eternal ice” will not survive the 21st century, according to reports from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS). 
More than 275,000 glaciers worldwide cover approximately 700,000 km². Together with ice sheets, glaciers store about 70% of the global freshwater resources.  High mountain regions are the world’s water towers. Depletion of glaciers therefore threatens supplies to hundreds of millions of people who live downstream and depend on the release of water stored over past winters during the hottest and driest parts of the year. In the short-term, glacier melt increases natural hazards like floods.

DJ, Different scenarios not only on the long term but also on "the most extremes" of climate events...On average a glacier could see slow increase of temperature...however only a few days of extreme warmth may do most of the damage in a year/period...

In the European Alps between 2000 and 2025 40% of the glaciers ended...

High temperatures may de-freeze the ice-glue keeping rocks/mountains together so an increase of rockslides is likely...if those rocks slide into a mountain lake it could even cause further disaster...

Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)

Average remaining extent gain (of the last 10 years) would produce a maximum in March 2025 of 13.78 million km2, 0.10 million km2 below the March 2017 record low maximum of 13.88 million km2, which would be 1st lowest in the 47 year satellite record.

Projections.

Average remaining Area loss (of the last 10 years) would produce a minimum in Sept  of 2.35 million km2, 0.11 million km2 above the Sept 2012 record low minimum of 2.25 million km2, and 2nd lowest in the  year satellite record.

DJ, earlier I posted https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/03/arctic-blue-ocean-event-2025.html ...So...based on projections for now some indication there will NOT be a B.O.E. this year...(but lots of things can happen...hurricane season may bring surprises/hot air into the Arctic...).
