. The retreat of ice shelves and glaciers over the lastcentury provides unequivocal evidence of recent global warming. Glacierets(miniature glaciers) and ice patches are important components of thecryosphere that highlight the global retreat of glaciers, but knowledge oftheir behaviour prior to the Little Ice Age is lacking. Here, we report theuranium–thorium age of subglacial carbonate deposits from a recently exposedsurface previously occupied by the disappearing Triglav Glacier(southeastern European Alps) that may elucidate the glacier's presencethroughout the entire Holocene. The ages suggest the deposits' possible preservationsince the Last Glacial Maximum and Younger Dryas. These thin deposits,formed by regelation, are easily eroded if exposed during previous Holoceneclimatic optima. The age data indicate the glacier's present unprecedentedlevel of retreat since the Last Glacial Maximum and the potential ofsubglacial carbonates as additional proxies to highlight the extraordinarynature of the current global climatic changes.
