Glacier thickness
The alpine late-glacial period ended approximately 11,600 years ago with the recession of Ice Age glaciers to the Holocene or recent size (e.g. as around 1850). Since then, alpine glaciers have been fluctuating within a narrowly limited range only at a high temperature level and an astonishingly low amplitude (± 1 °C). There is conclusive evidence, based on historical glaciology studies, of eight
