Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:As climate change continues to alter the planet, one of the earliest casualties will be glaciers spread across the world. Ice cores retrieved from one of the glaciers in the region will hopefully tell us more about why these particular glaciers are so resistant to climate change, though recent studies suggest this long-held resiliency may be slipping. Disappearing glaciers across inhabited continents are one of the most startling indicators of anthropogenic climate change. While the rest of the world’s glaciers melted into oblivion, this ice cap actually grew in size, and scientists want to understand this unexpected resilience. It turns out even the world’s last refuge for glaciers can’t withstand the rapid warming driven by anthropogenic climate change.
