In primary school (1960s), we learned that mountain areas above 3,000 m altitude in the Alps had eternal snow.
I'm afraid we're seeing the end of that.
Matterhorn, 4,478 m high, last week.

@Sustainable2050 I don't mean 'favourite' in a good sense. I mean horribly important.
@Sustainable2050 It's sad and changing the face of Switzerland in a dramatic way all along the alps.
@Sustainable2050 Rocky mountain native here. Same thing is happening here. Breaks my heart.
Bears are in Denver looking for food because the drought is so severe.

It's sooo strange to see a picture of the Matterhorn without any snow on it.
@Sustainable2050 was up near Mt. Hood recently and it's the same story. The permanent snowfields are gone, the glaciers are going away.
@Sustainable2050 and the 70s too
@Sustainable2050 I'm sure more AI will fix it ... sigh.
@Sustainable2050 Und wie es da jetzt schön auf den Felsen regnen und dann gefrieren kann.
