ENVIRONMENT

Over 70 Percent of Everest Glacier Volume may be Lost

  • According to a newspaper, the glacier volume could be reduced between 70 and 99 percent by 2100.
  • It is a first approximation to how the Himalayan glaciers will react to increasing temperatures in the region. The results depend on how much greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and on how this will affect temperature, snowfall and rainfall in the area.
