Climate change climate change has forced Italy and Switzerland to redraw their borders in the Alps, which were defined by the line of glaciers that have begun to melt due to rising temperatures.

Part of the affected area will be below Mount Matterhorn, one of Europe’s highest mountains, and close to several popular ski resorts.

Stunning photos published by a British couple illustrate the rapid pace at which global warming is melting ice.

Duncan Porter and his wife returned to the same spot in the Swiss Alps nearly 15 years apart to take two different photos. The result is disheartening.

The mummified remains of a US climber who was lost 22 years ago in Peru have been found again when the ice melted in a glacier.

William Stampfl had gone missing in June 2002, aged 59, when a snowpack covered the tents of his team climbing Mount Huascaran, which is the highest in Peru.

But looking out over the southernmost continent, scientist Miguel Angel de Pablo laments that humanity seems to be oblivious to the warnings.

Antarctica has lost ice equaling the size of Türkiye in the last three years, according to a study by Türkiye's top scientific council's team that conducted research as part of its eighth Antarctic expedition.

It is the latest in a series of discoveries of remains of long-missing climbers revealed as the Alp's glaciers melt and recede because of global warming.

Even in Antarctica, one of the most remote and desolate places on Earth, scientists say they are finding shattered temperature records and an increase in the size and number of wacky weather events.

An expert has warned that global warming and climate change, which are increasingly affecting Türkiye like rest of the world, are causing worrying levels of glacier melting on the Cilo Mountain in the eastern province of Hakkari, the country's second-highest peak.
