High summer temperatures caused record melting of the Norwegian archipelago’s glaciers.
Andean tropical glaciers are retreating at an unprecedented rate, exposing ice-free areas not seen for 11,700 years since the Holocene epoch began. This phenomenon highlights the significant regional impacts of human-induced climate change.
