The ridges of glaciers determine some sections of the Italian-Swiss border, and with the melting ice causing significant changes, borders too must be redrawn.

Switzerland's glaciers lost a total of 10% of their volume over 2022 and 2023, double the amount they lost from 1960 to 1990.

As the glaciers melt and change, the natural boundaries defined by them are also being affected, leading to international discussions on border adjustments.
