According to SRF, the Bella Tola Glacier in Valais has practically disappeared. The glacier has not only lost its area but is also not the first glacier to be affected during this time.

According to 20 Minuten, the area of the Bella Tola Glacier has already been reduced to the size of seven football fields by 2023. Experts point out that other glaciers in the region are similarly threatened.
