2008 glaciological Survey moraine cover, the frequent dismemberments induced by the loss of mass (Passo di Chiareggio, Venerocolo, Porola), the formation and widening of proglacial lakes (particularly important is the widening of the Est Fellaria proglacial lake) and the lessening of break-up morphologies (crevasses, seracs). Hence, briefly, the negative trend for our The data of the 2008 Survey Year Total regional area covered by glaciers (ha) - 24 - glaciers continued in 2008 as well, though we could say something like “better than worse”. Coming from years that were anticipating the glaciological and climatic scenarios predicted for the end of XXI century, this might be of some satisfaction. During the 2008 Glaciological Survey, 96 glaciers were subjected to a complete glaciological survey 1 (36,5% of existing glaciers); their combined area was 9061,4 ha or 83,6% of Lombardy glacialized surface. Adding the photographic observations2 (103) the number of glacial apparatuses, inclusive of both glaciers and glacierettes, increases to 199 (75,7 % of all glacial bodies or 95,4 % of the entire regional glacial area).

Operators also remarked the morphologies variations versus the previous survey. 2 Photographic observation means that a glacier is investigated through one or more photos taken from selected photographic stations to allow meaningful comparisons over the years. Such observations do not provide dynamic indexes.
