Big ice loss at the Glockner
Austria has many glaciers. A glacier is a big field of ice. The Pasterze is the largest glacier in Austria. It lies at the mountain Gross-Glockner. But the ice melts very fast.
The ice is very little this year. A big ice connection breaks soon. This place is called Hufeisen-Bruch. The Pasterze is then not one whole glacier. It breaks into small parts.
The reason is the climate change
The world gets warmer. People call this climate change. The winter was very mild. There was too little new snow. June was very hot. Therefore the ice melts fast.
The ice at the Hufeisen-Bruch disappears. Then there is a new winner. The Gepatsch-Ferner in Tyrol is then the largest glacier. The ice melts strongly at the Dachstein too. The experts are very worried.
