Melting glaciers reveal a Swiss pass for first time since Roman era

Description

The once-thick layer of ice that covered the pass between the Scex Rouge and Tsanfleuron glaciers in Switzerland has completely melted away, exposing bare rock that had been frozen over since at least the Roman era. Switzerland's glaciers lost six percent of their total volume this year due to a dry winter and repeated summer heatwaves, shattering previous ice melt records, a report has revealed.

During the last ice age on Earth 20,000 years ago, our planet was covered in glaciers. Those glaciers then retreated to the poles. These masses of ice left behind rocks as evidence, dropping them while scraping and carving paths as they moved to the poles.
