Drop by drop, Slovenia is losing its ice. The Skuta Glacier is now the last glacier left in the country. Its other glacier on Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak, has almost completely melted away.
Mountain guide Andrej Slak has watched Slovenia’s glaciers shrink for 35 years. Climbing over rocky terrain toward what remains of Skuta, he says the change has been especially noticeable over the past decade and that its impact on the local community has been devastating.
