Summary: The text discusses the impact of climate change on glaciers in the Alps, focusing on the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland. The glacier has been rapidly melting due to rising temperatures, with a loss of around 3% of its volume each year. This has caused a range of problems, from endangering the local environment and wildlife to affecting tourism and water resources. Scientists warn that if current trends continue, the Aletsch Glacier could shrink by 90% by the end of the century. Efforts are being made to monitor and study the glacier, as well as to raise awareness about the importance of addressing climate change to mitigate the impact on glaciers and other natural ecosystems.
