Hundreds Mourn Melting Swiss Glacier

VOANews

   Hundreds of mourners gathered Sunday to commemorate the loss of yet
   another European glacier.

   Dressed in mourning clothes, they hiked for hours in the Glarus Alps in
   eastern Switzerland to reach the remnants of the Pizol glacier at 2,600
   meters above sea level.

   The glacier has lost more than 80% of its volume since 2006.

   "I have climbed up here countless times," Matthias Huss, a glaciologist
   at ETH Zurich university, told the mourners. "It is like the dying of a
   good friend."
