Residents covered the glacier with giant blankets to prevent the high temperature from melting the glacier
4hw.com.cn: the Daily Mail reported on July 26 that Swiss residents covered the glaciers in the south of the Alps with an anti ultraviolet 'giant blanket' to strictly prevent the glaciers from melting due to the high temperature in summer.
Affected by global warming, the 3657 meter Swiss glacier has melted rapidly in the past 150 years and has retreated 1400 meters. Scientists say this can reduce the retreat rate of glaciers by 50% to 70%.
