Heatwaves Accelerate Melting of Switzerland's Rhône Glacier

Heatwaves Accelerate Melting of Switzerland's Rhône Glacier

The Rhône Glacier in southern Switzerland has experienced significant ice loss due to successive heatwaves across Europe. According to Switzerland's Glacier Monitoring Service (GLAMOS), the glacier has been melting at an average rate of 10 centimeters per day since mid-June, resulting in a total loss of over four meters of ice in a single month. This rapid melting is attributed to a combination of low winter snowfall and unusually high temperatures, which have left the glacier exposed and vulnerable. Researchers have observed that the glacier is melting not only from the surface but also from below, where meltwater is carving out large cavities, further accelerating the melting process.
