Rising heat continues to worsen glacial loss in the Swiss Alps

Swiss glaciers lost over 5% of their ice volume following a hot summer and at least two disappeared altogether, an acceleration of melting that threatens the tourism lifeblood of Alpine communities.

Lack of snowfall in winter and abnormally high temperatures over the summer caused a retreat just shy of the record year of 2022, bringing the glacial loss in the Swiss Alps to nearly 20% over the past five years, according to data from the glacier monitoring network Glamos and the Swiss Academy of Sciences.

瑞士冰川在经历了炎热的夏季后，冰量减少了 5% 以上，至少有两座冰川完全消失了，冰川加速融化威胁着阿尔卑斯山社区的旅游业命脉。

根据冰川监测网络 Glamos 和瑞士科学院的数据，冬季降雪不足和夏季异常高温导致冰川消融量略低于 2022 年的记录水平，使得瑞士阿尔卑斯山的冰川在过去五年中损失了近 20%。
