Switzerland's glacier loss accelerates to nearly 20% in five years

Switzerland's glaciers lost more than 5% of their ice volume in 2026 alone, pushing the five-year total to nearly 20%. Some of the country's most famous glaciers recorded their worst melting ever, while smaller ones vanished entirely. Unusually snowless winters and extreme summer heat are driving this measurable, empirical loss. These are not abstract climate indicators, they are calibrated, real-time signals of systemic change.
