Retreat of glaciers since

Antarctica has lost ice equaling the size of Türkiye in the last three years, according to a study by Türkiye's top scientific council's team that conducted research as part of its eighth Antarctic expedition.

Even in Antarctica, one of the most remote and desolate places on Earth, scientists say they are finding shattered temperature records and an increase in the size and number of wacky weather events.

An expert has warned that global warming and climate change, which are increasingly affecting Türkiye like rest of the world, are causing worrying levels of glacier melting on the Cilo Mountain in the eastern province of Hakkari, the country's second-highest peak.

Half of the Earth's glaciers, notably smaller ones, are destined to disappear by the end of the century because of climate change, but limiting global warming could save others, according to a new study.

The findings, published in the journal Science on Jan. 5, provide the most comprehensive look so far at the future of the world's 215,000 glaciers.

The latest measurements of the glaciers below the Triglav and Skuta peaks have shown that the only two remaining glaciers in Slovenia have shrunk and thinned significantly this year due to the unfavourable snow and temperature conditions, and that they are under threat of disappearing.

If global warming continues at this rate, all glaciers on Türkiye's mountains will definitely melt, says Yıldırım Güngör, an associate professor from Istanbul University.

The highest glacier on the world's tallest mountain is losing decades worth of ice every year because of human-induced climate change, a new study shows.

After hiking for hours across the mountain and a vast expanse of white, Swiss glaciologist Matthias Huss crouches down near the middle of the massive glacier and checks the measurements.

Analysis of the data gathered from Aletsch, the largest glacier in the Alps, paints a dire picture of the toll that climate change is taking on the behemoth.

The largest country in the world is expanding, according to a Russian naval expedition to the Arctic Ocean, where 5 small islands were discovered after the ice was withdrawn.

The new land is located in a bay located in the New Earth archipelago in the far North of Russia.

Because of record high temperatures in July, glaciers have lost a huge amount of their volume, NOVA TV reported.

Scientists from Denmark's Meteorological Institute  reported that over 10 billion tonnes of ice have melted in Greenland in just one day.

Because of record highs of over 20 degrees in July, glaciers have lost enormous amount of their volume.
