Austria's glaciers are in rapid decline, with all but two of the nation's 96 ice formations retreating over the past two years, a "dramatic development" that starkly highlights the escalating impact of climate change.
The latest report from the Austrian Alpine Club reveals significant losses, with the Alpeiner Ferner in Tyrol and Stubacher Sonnblickkees in Salzburg each shrinking by more than 100 metres. The average retreat across the country measured over 20 metres.
