Swiss glaciers smashed all records for melting in 2022, under the dual effect of a dry winter and a long wave of intense summer heat. Three cubic kilometres of ice – three thousand billion litres of water – literally evaporated, or 6% of the total volume of Swiss glaciers, according to a report by the (GLAMOS) network published on September 28, 2022.
