Swiss Glaciers Face "Enormous" Melting, Shrank By A Quarter In Past Decade
Switzerland's glaciers have faced "enormous" melting this year, with a 3% drop in total volume the fourth-largest annual drop on record due to the effects of global warming, top Swiss glaciologists reported on Wednesday.

"Unbelievable": Body Of Man Missing For 28 Years Found Inside Melting Glacier In Pakistan
According to police, Naseeruddin fell into a glacier crevice during a snowstorm in June 1997 and went missing.

Greenland's Melting Glaciers Feed Ocean Life, Study Finds
A new NASA-led study reveals that Greenland’s melting glaciers are fueling life in the Arctic Ocean. Each summer, massive freshwater plumes from glaciers like Jakobshavn drag deep-sea nutrients upward, boosting phytoplankton growth by up to 40%. These microscopic organisms form the base of the marine food web and play a key role in carbon absorpt...

Swiss Glaciers Hit Annual Tipping Point Weeks Early
The snow and ice accumulated last winter by Switzerland's glaciers has already melted away, a monitoring service said, with Friday marking the alarming second-earliest arrival on record of the tipping point known as glacier loss day.

Study Explains How Climate Change May Be Causing Minor Tremors In Alps
A new study links climate change-induced glacier melt in the Alps to a surge in minor earthquakes, warning that seismic risk may rise globally as glaciers continue to shrink.
