GLETSCH, SWITZERLAND - AUGUST 21: In this aerial view a glaciology team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) releases a pink dye into a rivulet of meltwater that descends into a hole on the Rhone Glacier as a visual aid to measure the water's rate of flow during data collection on August 21, 2025 near Gletsch, Switzerland. The scientific team of researchers and students is measuring a variety of the glacier???s properties, including its mass loss and surface reflectivity, ice flow, ice thickness, hydrological characteristics and the size and deformation of crevasses. The Rhone Glacier, among Switzerland???s largest, is likely facing another withering year following record breaking temperatures across Europe in June and overall low levels of snowfall. The European Alps have warmed twice as much as the global average, disproportionately affecting their glaciers and leading to a sharp acceleration of ice loss over recent decades.
