The Marmolada glacier is losing between 7 and 10 centimeters of depth daily, prompting concerns it may completely melt by 2040 due to climate change.
Experts have noted that winter droughts and unusually high summer temperatures are accelerating the glacier's melting process, impacting not only Marmolada but glaciers throughout the Dolomites.
The Marmolada has retreated by 1,200 meters since measurements began in 1888, emphasizing the irreversible nature of current climate changes affecting glacial regions.
The environmental campaign Caravan of Glaciers highlights scientifically tracked losses of glacial surface, underscoring the extreme changes facing Italy's mountainous regions due to climate emergency.
