@itvnews: Heatwaves and low snowfall has caused Switzerland's glaciers to lose 5.5% of their ice volume, the second-biggest percentage drop on record. A report from the GLAMOS Swiss glacier monitoring service and the Swiss Academy of Sciences underscores growing concerns that global warming is wreaking havoc on Europe, the world's fastest-warming continent. Research teams are using red dye to track how melted water moves through the glaciers because it helps them identify water flows, runoff routes and crevices created as the ice melts. #itvnews #alps #globalwarming
