This aerial view taken on October 27, 2021 near Gletsch shows insulating foam covering a part of the Rhone Glacier to prevent it from melting due to global warming. Swiss glaciers lost 1% of their volume in 2021, despite heavy snow and a cool summer, due to climate change. “Although 2021 shows the lowest ice loss since 2013, no slowdown is in sight for glacier retreat”, noted experts from the Expert commission of the cryosphere measurement network of the Swiss Academy of Sciences on October 19, 2021.
