"Rapid Ice Loss: Swiss Alps Shedding Ice at Alarming Rate"

The Swiss Alps have experienced a catastrophic loss of ice, with glaciers melting at a high rate due to exceptionally low snowfall and high temperatures. The volume of ice lost in the past two years is equivalent to what was lost between 1960 and 1990. This rapid ice loss has led to the disappearance of many small glaciers, and it is attributed to a lack of winter precipitation and rising summer temperatures.
