"For the second time in a month, the world is mourning yet another one
of Europe's majestic glaciers. Once a sight to behold, scientists now
say that Switzerland's Pizol glacier has all but disappeared thanks to
climate change.

Since 2006, this natural wonder has lost at least 80 percent of its
volume, and the few patches of white that remain are more depressing
than hopeful. Together, experts say they amount to some 26,000 square
metres of ice, which is less than four football fields."
