Glaciers are massive ice formations found in polar regions and high mountains. They form from compacted snow over many years. Glaciers move slowly, shaping the landscape as they advance. They are crucial for freshwater supply in many areas. Climate change threatens their existence. The melting of glaciers can lead to rising sea levels. This impacts coastal communities and ecosystems worldwide.
The impact of climate change is becoming increasingly evident, particularly in the Himalayas, where glacial lakes are expanding due to melting glaciers. This phenomenon poses risks to downstream...
