Glacier retreat throughout the years
The sad reality of our glaciers. Due to the rising temperatures, glaciers are melting at a faster rate. Researchers predict that by 2100 about 90% of the glaciers in the world will be gone.
The glaciers below are all located in the eastern alps. They will be gone most likely by 2080.
