Climate Glacier Retreat Before After — free printable diagram

About this illustration

This image contains two comparative panels illustrating glacial retreat over time. The top panel, labeled '1980 A LARGE GLACIER', shows a vast glacier filling a mountain valley, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and evergreen trees. The bottom panel, labeled '2025 A SHRUNKEN GLACIER', depicts the same valley with a significantly smaller glacier situated higher up, replaced by a large meltwater lake and numerous waterfalls cascading down the now-exposed rock faces. This clear, cartoon-style illustration teaches about climate change and the environmental impact of global warming, suitable for classroom slides, worksheets, or discussion prompts.
