Glacier Melt Leads to Redrawing of the Italian-Swiss Border
Briefly

"In Switzerland and Italy, large sections of their shared border are marked by glacier peaks and snowfields in the Alps. Recently, these countries have watched as the glaciers on Matterhorn Peak... have continued to melt."
"However, climate change is leading global temperatures to rise, and high-mountain areas are warming even more rapidly than the rest of the planet... with temperatures in the Alps rising twice as fast as the global average."
"This past October, the Swiss government officially approved the change and the process for approval is currently underway in Italy... shifting a small section of their border farther into Italian territory."
