The glaciers in Alaska react very quickly to the rise in temperature. This is shown by a recent study that analyzed, with the help of satellites, how the surface of thousands of ice masses changes during the melting season. For every extra 1 °C in the average temperature of summer, glaciers can add up to three more weeks of melting. That is, they not only lose ice, but stay longer in “shield mode.” To reach this conclusion, a team of scientists …
