Glaciers in the Alps are melting as temperatures hit zero degrees at record-high altitudes
PONTRESINA, SWITZERLAND - MAY 21: In this aerial view the receding Morteratsch glacier, including a collapsed portion, lies on May 21, 2023 near Pontresina, Switzerland. On June 18 Swiss voters will go to the polls to decide on the so-called Glacier Initiative, launched by the Swiss Association for Climate Protection, which would require Switzerland to end greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption by 2050. The Morteratsch glacier, which lies in the Bernina mountain range and is the third largest glacier in the Eastern Alps, has been receding since 1900, though the rate of its melting has accelerated in recent decades. Matthias Huss, a glaciologist with ETH Zurich university and head of the Swiss glacier monitoring network, estimates the Morteratsch lost up to 10% of its volume in 2022 alone.
