Glacier Melting
Personal memory by Pauline Buffle
1998 • Switzerland
I live close the Alps and I've been going to the same place for years. There is glacier over there. At the end of the summer of the heat wave in Europe I took an Egyptian friend to visit the place and to my surprise, a lot of the glacier had meleted. In two years I could actually see the difference with my own eyes... It was honestly a very sad moment.
