GENEVA, Feb. 15, 2023 — This photo taken on Feb. 14, 2023 from Observation Terrace Sphinx on Jungfrau Mountain at the altitude of 3,571 meters above sea level shows the Aletsch glacier in Switzerland. A group of 25 people from China visited the city of Lucerne and the popular scenic spot and winter sports resort Jungfrau in central Switzerland on Feb. 13-14, after three years of pandemic-related hiatus. “I am very excited to see all these again,” said Cui Chenghai, a tourist who frequented Switzerland before the outbreak of the pandemic. “It has been three years and everything here has no change, but my feeling is different.” Starting Feb. 6, travel agencies and online tourism service providers in China have been permitted to provide group tours of 20 countries, and relevant airline ticket and hotel booking services have been resumed as well. Switzerland is one of the 20 countries. “I think people from different countries or of different ethnic groups in the world have been communicating less because of the pandemic,” said Adrian Schmied, Market Manager China of Jungfraubahnen Management. “So if tourists can travel to different countries, better mutual understanding will be built when they communicate to each other. And I believe the earth would be in better harmony this way.” According to the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the current pandemic situation “does not presently warrant” compulsory COVID-19 testing for travelers from China.,Image: 756191269, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: Lian Yi / Xinhua News / Profimedia

Švicarski ledenjaci ove se godine alarmantno brzo tope, a znanstvenici upozoravaju da je gubitak ledenog pokrova počeo tjednima ranije nego inače zbog zime siromašne snijegom.

Dan gubitka ledenjaka (GLD) svake godine obilježavaju istraživači u Švicarskoj. To je trenutak kada se na ledenjaku otopi sav snijeg i led koji se nakupi tijekom zime.

Ovisno o ledenjaku, ove je godine stigao već krajem lipnja ili početkom srpnja.

‘U nekim regijama sjeveroistočne Švicarske na kraju zime nikada nismo imali tako malu količinu snijega na ledenjacima’, rekao je za dpa istraživač Andreas Bauder s ETH Zurich o planinskim uvjetima koji ulaze u ljetne mjesece.

‘Sve dok ima snijega na tlu, led se neće otopiti. Ali ove je godine topljenje snijega počelo krajem svibnja i brzo se nastavilo tijekom lipnja i srpnja’, rekao je.

U Švicarskoj se snježni i ledeni pokrivač detaljno mjeri svakog proljeća i jeseni na oko 20 od otprilike 1400 ledenjaka u zemlji. Između 10 i 15 njih prati se i tijekom ljeta. Ta se opažanja koriste za određivanje Dana gubitka ledenjaka.

Među najvećim švicarskim ledenjacima su ledenjaci Aletsch i Gorner.

U usporedbi s prošlom godinom, ljeto je ove godine počelo s puno manjim zalihama snijega, prema Bauderu. Unatoč tome, ledenjaci su 2024. godine ipak izgubili više mase nego što su dobili tijekom zime.
