„Acoperișul Europei” pierde mai mult de 1 metru din înălțime într-un an. Fenomenul ciudat observat de cercetători, cu ochiul liber, la înălțimi amețitoare

Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe, has lost over a meter in height in the past year due to climate change. Currently standing at 4,807.47 meters, the mountain's height fluctuates annually due to factors like heat and precipitation affecting its snow and ice cover. Recent measurements show a decrease of 3.43 meters since its peak in 2007. Experts emphasize that changes in altitude do not necessarily correlate with the overall mass loss of glaciers. This year has seen unprecedented warmth in Western Europe, accelerating ice melt in the Alps. Observations indicate that while climate change impacts are visible, they may not be as pronounced at altitudes above 4,000 meters.
