Over the last three years, Earth's glaciers have melted at the fastest rate they’ve ever done on record. Recognizing this crisis, the United Nations has announced the 21st of March as World Day for Glaciers.

Glaciers might disappear within the century at current rate: Experts

A new study reveals that Arunachal Pradesh is losing glaciers at an alarming rate of 16.94 square kilometers per year, with 110 glaciers disappearing over the past 32 years. The findings highlight the accelerating impact of climate change in the region.

A new study has found that Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' started retreating rapidly in the 1940s, and never showed any signs of recovery. The doomsday glacier's fate will have ramifications, not just in antarctica but globally. Its complete collapse could raise sea levels by more than 2 feet.

The Antarctic ice plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's climate by deflecting the sun's rays. But now it is melting at a pace not witnessed before. Scientists fear that the impact of climate change at the southern pole is ramping up.

El Nino may melt Indonesia's 12,000-year-old 'Eternity Glaciers' by 2026

Floods, droughts, wildfires, and excessive heat during the summer months have already become frequent due to climate change, and experts believe not enough is being done to reduce their pace.

The melting of earth's ice sheets is all to evident. According to scientists who work with satellite-based data, earth's frozen poles have lost over 7,560 billion tonnes in mass in the last 30 years. The pace of melting is five times more than what it was 30 years ago. Mass loss from greenland & antarctica is responsible for a quarter of all rise in sea levels. The ice lost from these two places has resulted in sea levels increasing by 21 millimetres.

Sea levels rising due to loss of mass from glaciers melting in the poles

Shrinking of ice mass on the remaining Pyrenees glaciers will vanish in the coming decade, warn scientists.

Among the most dramatic evidence that the earth's climate is warming is the retreat and disappearance of mountain glaciers. Since the early 1900s, many glaciers around the world have been rapidly melting. Human activity is at the root of this phenomenon. Mohammed Saleh brings you this report.

World's glaciers are shrinking and disappearing faster than scientists previously thought! A new study, published in the journal Science by Carnegie Mellon University, has found that, in the worst-case scenario, 2 out of every 3 glaciers can disappear by the end of this century if fossil fuel use continues unabated.

Switzerland glaciers have recorded their worst melting rate since records began more than a century ago. They have lost 6% of their volume this year, which is nearly the double the previous record of 2003.

The melting of glaciers has exposed a Swiss pass for the first time since the Roman era. The pass between the Scex Rouge & Tsanfleuron glaciers was once covered with a thick layer of ice.
