Switzerland's glaciers have faced enormous melting this year with a 3 per cent drop in total volume  the fourth-largest annual drop on record  due to the effects of global warming, top Swiss glaciologists have reported.
The shrinkage this year means that ice mass in Switzerland  home to the most glaciers in Europe  has declined by one-quarter over the last decade, the Swiss glacier monitoring group GLAMOS and the Swiss Academy of Sciences said in their report Wednesday.
Glacial melting in Switzerland was once again enormous in 2025, the scientists said. A winter with low snow depth combined with heat waves in June and August led to a loss of 3 per cent of the glacier volume.
Switzerland is home to nearly 1,400 glaciers, the most of any country in Europe, and the ice mass and its gradual melting have implications for hydropower, tourism, farming and water resources in many European countries.
More than 1,000 small glaciers in Switzerland have already disappeared, the experts said.

Tragically, this kind of predatory incident is not a rare occurrence, for the police.  They report that such crimes are becoming increasingly common.
They say this falls squarely within the patterns they regularly encounter through their Digital De-addiction (D-DAD) programme, an initiative aimed at identifying and rehabilitating children hooked on online games, social media, and pornography.
Launched in 2023, the D-DAD project is the first of its kind in the country.

The action was taken by the Directorate of School Education against drawing teacher Atter Singh of the Government Senior Secondary School in Rohnat.
The Rs 7,616 cheque, issued on September 25, went viral on social media due to the striking spelling mistakes, reading "Saven Thursday Six Harendra Sixtey", drawing public ridicule.

The principal and the teacher were asked to appear in person before the Director of School Education, Ashish Kohli, on Saturday.
