The Death of a Tropical Glacier
Tropical glaciers seems to be a fluke of nature. The glaciers exist on the equatorial line, and despite the dense jungles that lie below, the ice formations surviving due to high elevations and high precipitation levels. In Colombia, 7 still remain, but are melting so rapidly, scientists say the glaciers are "on the front line of climate change." Nevado Santa Isabel, near Manizales, Colombia, is worse off than most, losing three meters of depth a month. In less than 30 years, all seven of the glaciers will be gone.
