EUROPE-WEATHER/SWISS-GLACIERS

In Obergoms, Switzerland, glaciologist Matthias Huss from ETH Zurich and Head of Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland monitors equipment on the Rhone glacier. Drone imagery reveals the glacier's melting due to climate change. Meanwhile, tourists visit ice caves where fleece blankets are deployed to reduce the rate of melting. These events underscore the environmental impact of climate change on Swiss glaciers and the scientific efforts to track these changes through specialized monitoring and equipment.
