Rhône Glacier
The Rhône Glacier is located in the Swiss Alps, specifically in the canton of Valais. It is the source of the Rhône River, which flows through Switzerland and France. The glacier is approximately 23 kilometers long and is known for its stunning blue ice and dramatic landscape.
Due to climate change, the Rhône Glacier has been retreating significantly over the past century. This retreat has raised concerns about the impact on local ecosystems and water supply. Efforts are being made to monitor the glacier and understand the effects of global warming on this important natural feature.
