[YouTube] Dramatic impact of heat wave on European glaciers

Post by fivat » Sunday 26 August 2018, 18:56

We regularly report in this Forum the catastrophic situation about the glaciers. We see them melting year after year.

This summer, the ski resort on the glacier of Stelvio in Italy (on Swiss border), the home of Mountain Slope (where I did ride with Hansruedi last year), has been been closed on 6th August because of catastrophic conditions.

Lucifer is the name of the heat wave through Europe this summer...

Honestly, all glaciers were sad to watch this summer... which has been the warmest since statistics are made about temperatures... :?
In 2100 all the glaciers will have disappeared in the Alps because of the global warming... :? :(
