Glaciers from Switzerland have experienced a “huge” melting this year, with a total of three percent decline in total, which marks the fourth largest annual decline on the record.
This significant loss responsible for global warming was reported by the top Swiss glacieologist on Wednesday.
Shrinkage means that according to a new report by Swiss glacier monitoring group Glamos and Swiss Academy of Sciences, there has been a decline in the back of the last decade of the most glaciers of Ice Mass-Europe in Switzerland.
Scientists said, “Glacian melting in Switzerland was very big once again in 2025.” “A winter with a depth of low ice combined with summer waves in June and August caused loss of 3 percent glacier.”
Switzerland, home of about 1,400 glaciers – most in Europe – many European countries have implications from this gradual melting for hydroelectric, tourism, farming and water resources.
More than 1,000 small glaciers have already disappeared in Switzerland, the experts said.
Teams reported that after the summer waves in June, the second most warm-on a winter-ride with little snow, left the snow reserves in early July. He said that the mass of snow started melting more than ever.
,Glaciers Anthropogenic global warming is clearly retreated, ”Glamos chief Mathius Hus said, referring to climate change due to human activity.
“This is the main cause of the acceleration we have been seeing in the last two years,” Huss said, who is also a glacieologist at the University of Ethz, Jurich.
The fourth largest shrinkage is the fourth largest after 2022, in 2023 and back in 2003.
The retreat and disadvantage of the glaciers is also impacting Switzerland’s landscape, which has moved the mountains and the ground has become unstable.
Swiss authorities have been alerted to such changes after a huge mass of rock and ice from a glacier, which cover almost all of the southern village of Blaton in May.
