Update related Glacier Les Arcs: 3-Aug-2010
Sun block shield anti-UV for Glacier
1.5 meters of Ice saved......
The 'sun block' is a new development with a UV shield on one side and an anti-condensation interior to avoid the negative effect of water collecting on the glacier. The installation took two days to secure the 50 metre strips out over the glacier.
The initial reports look promising, whilst investment costs are high, reports of up to 1.5 meters of glacier has been saved. However the protective sheet is only covering 1/100 th of the total surface area of the glacier; some might say it's the tip of the iceberg.

Black surface from Diesel Sooth/soot acts as heat trap melts glacier faster
Previous attempts of blanketing glaciers have not been so successful - Tignes installed a sheet on the glacier du Grand Motte. The material that was used attracted lots of dirt making the white sheet turn black. This meant that the sheet actually acted as a heat trap and accelerated the melting of the glacier.
