Switzerland’s glaciers lose ‘mind-blowing’ volume of ice in just two years
Headline from KRDO
(CNN) — Glaciers in Switzerland are shrinking at a “mind-blowing” rate. A total of 10% of their ice volume has disappeared over a period of just two years as a combination of low snowfall and soaring temperatures cause unprecedented melting, according to figures released Thursday.

Switzerland's alpine glaciers have lost as much ice in 2 years as they did in the 30 leading up to 1990, a sign of the climate's "critical state," one scientist says.

Due to high summer heat and low snow volumes, Switzerland, home to the most glaciers of any European country, saw a massive decline in glacial volume in the last two years.
