Devastating year for #Switzerland’s #glaciers

More than 5 per cent of Swiss glacial ice vanished in 2026 following an exceptionally warm, dry summer, and a winter with little snow.
Nearly 20 per cent of Switzerland’s glacier volume has disappeared in just five years.
Some of the […]

Swiss #glaciers have suffered a near-record loss of ice in 2026 as intense summer #heatwaves take their toll on Alpine peaks.

More than 5% of the country's remaining glacier ice has disappeared in the last 12 months, which scientists say is "extraordinary".

#EarthSystem / #Cryosphere: "Swiss #glaciers shrank by 5.5% in the first eight months of 2026...The reduction in ice volume falls just shy of the record set in 2022 and brings the total loss of glacier ice since 2021 to 19.4%." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Extraordinary' ice loss in Switzerland: Swiss glaciers shrank by 5.5% of their total volume in a single year, marking the second-lowest ice mass on record.

Switzerland’s #glaciers, which are disproportionately impacted by #climatechange, have lost nearly 20 percent of their mass in five years, experts said Thursday, with 2026 registering the second-biggest melt on #record. doi.org/rrpg

🧵🧪❄️ Shockingly, Swiss #glaciers have lost about 2 km³ of ice, 5.5% of their remaining volume this summer. Over the past 5 years the losses total about 10 km³.

Swiss glaciers lost over 5% of their ice in 2026, with some major glaciers experiencing record declines. Scientists link this rapid melt to global warming, impacting Europe's water supply and increasing landslide risks. #glaciers #News

Individual #glaciers like the mighty Rhône and Aletsch suffered record ice loss. That snowmelt fills Europe's key waterways, like the Rhine and the Danube. It's key to Europe's food supply, transportation chains and power supply.

Heatwaves are easily forgotten, the loss of #ice #glaciers in the alps creates „moonlike rock deserts“ which remain visible as long as it doesn’t snow. Let them be a stern reminder that we all need to #change our lifestyles:
- fly less
- drive less
- eat less meat
- buy less
