Photographs taken by a father and son in 1989 and 2020 have revealed how one of Europe's largest glacier has shrunk by 400 square kilometres due to climate change.
British scientist Kieran Baxter literally followed his father's footsteps to Vatnajökull in Iceland more than 30 years later to capture the scale of retreating ice.
At 7700 sq km, Vatnajökull is one of the biggest glaciers in Europe and spans about 8 per cent of Iceland's landmass in the country's south-east.
