The climate crisis is here and screaming in a deafening way- a tragic example, the snow and the ice in Swiss AlpineThe service that is responsible for monitoring them has already melted, as announced today (04.07.2025), signaling the most early arrival of the so -called “day of the loss of glaciers”.
Every new melting ice from today to October will bring about a decrease in the size of Swiss glaciersaccording to the service that monitors the glaciers in Switzerland (Glamos).
The country generally reaches this critical limit in August and His premature arrival is a new blow to the 1,400 Swiss glaciers, which are reduced at a worrying pace.
“The day of the loss of glaciers arrived in Switzerland,” Glamos Huses’s head wrote “X”, explaining that snowfall was weak and that June was the second warmer ever recorded.
“From now on, every loss of glaciers by October is unbearable,” Husos said. He clarified that the only time that this “day of glaciers loss” had come earlier was “The Year 2022” when it had arrived on June 26.
“We have to expect significant ice losses due to the extension of the ice melting season,” he added.
The glaciers of the Swiss Alps began to recede about 170 years ago. Their retreat was initially small, but during the last decades their melting has accelerated.
