In Europe, this summer has continued to be attacked by heat waves, with a record high in many places, and further accelerating the melting of glaciers. Recently, the two original alpine glaciers on the Alps of Switzerland were a rock path because of the melting of ice and snow, which separated the two. After this separation, they may be difficult to "hold hands."

A ski resort named "Glacier 3000" in western Switzerland said that this year in a hot summer in Europe, the melting amount of glaciers is about three times the average level in the past 10 years. The rocks are expected to be completely disconnected at the end of this month.

Fisher, a glacist at the University of Berney, Switzerland: Ten years ago, I measured it here with geographical radar. At that time, the measured ice layer was about 15 meters. The thick ice and snow melted. In fact, this road is no longer the ice road connecting two glaciers, and now the rock has separated the two glaciers.

Fisher said that this summer or even throughout the year, the weather experienced in Europe is extraordinary. The melting speed of the Alps glaciers is the rare year since their 60 -year observation records.

According to reports, since 1850, the volume of the Alps glaciers has been reduced by about 60%. According to this development, half of Switzerland's 1st Alps glaciers will disappear in the next 30 years.

Swiss climber Baltisberg: The process of melting glaciers is very disturbing. It can be seen that almost all ice and snow disappeared, and the ground has been exposed, and the ice and snow here are only about 1 cm.
