Satellite image of Venezuela’s Humboldt Glacier captured on April 28, 2015, by the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8.
Venezuela is the first postglacial nation in the Andes, as its last substantial patch of ice is now considered too small to flow under its own weight. This image pair shows the change in the glacier’s ice extent between 2015 and 2024 . Images were acquired with the OLI on Landsat 8 and OLI-2 on Landsat 9, respectively. Both images show the region toward the end of its dry season to minimize the influence of seasonal snow cover on the appearance of ice remnants.
