Swiss Glaciers Suffer Significant Ice Loss

Switzerland's glaciers, like giant ice cubes, are melting rapidly.

This year saw the fourth-largest ice loss on record, with a 3% reduction in volume.

Low snowfall combined with heat waves in June and August accelerated the melting.

Over the last decade, the ice mass has decreased by a quarter.

The melting glaciers are a result of climate change.

This affects the landscape and causes mountains to shift.
