Global warming causes glacier fronts to withdraw rapidly
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The withdrawal of glaciers and ice sheets as a result of global warming can now be observed all over the world. Each year new patches of levigated rock emerge from under the ice. Nude grey rock without lichens that never saw direct sunlight for approximately 100.000 years. This panoramic picture has been taken under a glacier front in the Italian alps and is a live demonstration of the process. |
