Large parts of the European Alps were covered by ice during the last glaciation. What places have been glaciated? When and for how long? This 2-min-long film shows the result of a recent climate-glacier modelling of the last glaciation in the Alps starting 120’000 years ago. This film is a reworking of a prior video, featuring new results based on climate modelling and a new AI-based visualization.
