It is slowly dying, more and more every day. Piece by piece, drop by drop, the Marmolada Glacier is disappearing. The glacier is now losing 7 to 10 centimeters of thickness a day, in the last 5 years it has seen 70 hectares of its surface area (equal to 98 soccer fields) disappear, and since scientific measurements began in 1888, it has receded 1,200 meters, and with a rise in the elevation of the front of 3,500 meters.This is a response to the "irreversible coma" of the Glacier Caravan, as reported in Legambiente's survey of the health of the great Alpine mountains. "The Alps are a key national and European place, but they are also increasingly fragile due to the advancing climate crisis. The Marmolada Glacier," says Vanda Bonardo, Legambiente's National Alps Manager, “is an important example of this, and with Glacier Caravan we have recounted the suffering of a dying glacier, marked by an acceleration of the melting process that has impressive numbers”.
