Adamello, il Pian di Neve, visto dal passo Brizio nel settembre 1978. Ci sono tornato questa settimana (giugno 2025) dopo quasi 50 anni, e tutto quello che si vede praticamente non c'è più. Il ghiacciaio ora è 150-200m più in basso. Allora, Dal passo Brizio si cominciava a camminare sulla neve del ghiacciaio senza scendere. oggi, per raggiungerlo bisogna abbassarsi di 120-150m su un tratto attrezzato. Sullo sfondo si vede la Lobbia Alta ai cui piedi -al limite della neve- c'è il rif. ai Caduti dell'Adamello con i suoi impianti di sci. Oggi, in quel punto, il ghiacciaio è 70-100m più sotto. Fine di un'era geologica ed inizio dell'antropocene. Diapositiva originale: Ektachrome 64 su Olympus OM1 e zuiko 28 f3.5 duplicata con Nikon D850 e micro 55 f3.5. La vistosa grana della pellicola è stata ridotta con Topaz denoise.

I was there too more or less in those years (only now I couldn't take it anymore :-) ) to go to the summit of Adamello and I have a beautiful memory, thank you for bringing it back to my mind with your photo. But maybe it's better for me to remember it as it was because witnessing the melting of the glaciers is very sad.
have a good day

I know the area and the situation well, which is really dramatic.
Even in spring, end of March mid-April, the season in which you make the summit on skis, once downhill you passed high and arrived at the Venezia pass practically at high altitude, now you go down and up again 200 meters comfortable.
A desolation!
Nice document, congratulations.
Giorgio
