Like glaciers elsewhere, the famous glaciers of the Alps are also faring very badly. (For example, the impressive Pasterze Glacier lies in the Hohe Tauern mountain range of the Alps, along the northeasternslope of Austria's tallest mountain, Grossglockner, and flows into the Moell River. The 9kilometre-long Pasterze is currently losing 5 metres in height and 20 metres in length everyyear.)
The link below leads to a subpage of the German "glacier archiv". They have crreated an online exhibition, where you can compare with the help of postcards, how the glaciers looked like years ago and now.
Although the site is in German, it's quite easy to navigate: just click on one of the red points on the map to see the cards:
