Researchers Warn That Himalayan Glaciers Are Melting at Exceptional Rate
Scientific Reports, reconstructed the size and ice surfaces of 14,798 Himalayan glaciers during the Little Ice Age. The researchers found that the glaciers have shrunk by about 40%, from their largest surface area of 28,000 km2 to about 19,600 km2 today.They also lost between 390 km3 and 586 km3 of ice during this timeframe. This equates to the combined ice totals in the central European Alps, Scandinavia, and the Caucasus.
