melting glacier

Part of the border between Italy and Switzerland is to be redrawn as the glaciers that mark the border between the two countries melt.

In 1941, thousands of people died in Huaraz (Peru) when the natural dam on the lake above the city broke. Now, melting glaciers are increasing the risk of that happening again.

The Totten glacier on the eastern Antarctic ice sheet is melting from the bottom, threatening to raise the sea level by more than 3.4 meters.
