  1. Automated Weather Station (AWS) on Quelccaya Ice Cap, southern Peru. In this scene we have just finished raising the tower (which explains the external guy ropes and chaotic disarray of instrument cables), and have begun filling in our enclosure-recovery hole into 2010-2011 accumulation. The weather was perfect this da...

  2. Panorama of Qori Kalis glacier and the valley below, in the Cordillera Vilcanota of Peru. Recession of this outlet glacier - the largest flowing from Quelccaya Ice Cap - has been exceptionally well documented by Henry Brecher and Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University. In the late-1980s there was no lake (see s...

  3. This is a 360° perspective on the world as seen from the summit of Quelccaya Ice Cap, in the Cordillera Vilcanota of southern Peru. Quelccaya has been studied since the early 1970s, with a major milestone achieved in 1983 when the glacier was drilled through to bedrock, yielding the first low-latitude ice core reco...

  4. This scene is a detail of the larger panorama (GigaPan #110242), with a different exposure adjustment to better show aspects of the glacier.

  6. This is a large section of the Quelccaya Ice Cap margin. A couple decades ago, ice covered virtually the entire scene, which is larger than it appears here (135° FOV). This ice-dammed lake could drain at any time, if a delicate balance is upset between hydrostatic pressure and the restraining capacity of the glacier -...

  7. Qori Kalis is an outlet glacier of Quelccaya Ice Cap in the Cordillera Vilcanota of southern Peru. Recession of Qori Kalis is well documented since 1963, primarily by Henry Brecher at Ohio State University. This GigaPan illustrates the moraine-dammed lake in July 2012. This lake began forming in the late 1980s as the i...
