Presena Glacier (Italy): Battling to save the North Italian Presena glacier from further shrinking, a climate expert covers it with a long piece of cloth that will reflect sunlight and prevent snow from it.
They say about 70% of the snow can be saved during the summer with a protective cover that works the same way as a reflective silver guard is placed in a car window to stop too hot.
On top of the glacier and surrounded by an amazing extensive peak, a team stretched 5 meters and a 70-meter strip to cover around 120,000 square meters of glaciers.
This task takes one month to complete.
This process has been carried out every year since 2008.
“The glaciers and retreats may be the most striking manifestations of ongoing global warming,” said Glaciologist Christian Casarotto from the Trento Science Museum, adding to the glacier mass has fallen continuously for 15 to 20.
year.
“Therefore, learning glaciers is important to understand the direction where we are headed and to be able to fix it,” he added.
