Switzerland's glaciers melting in heatwave
The current heatwave in Switzerland is accelerating the melting of the glaciers in the Alps, with all the snow and ice accumulated during last winter expected to melt by Monday—faster than at any time in recent years. Swiss glaciers have lost 38% of their volume between 2000 and 2024, with 1,200 glaciers retreating over the past fifty years. Their size is projected to decrease significantly by 2100 if this trend continues.
