Glaciers on Mount Qomolangma have shrunk by 28 percent over the past 40 years due to climate change, according to a report released over the weekend.

Greenland's glaciers are retreating quickly, and a new study shows in historical terms just how quickly: over the past century, at least twice as fast as any other time in the past 9,500 years.

The snowfall has come down significantly in the last couple of decades and the glacier is melting at a higher rate putting the lives of farmers at risk,” says ‘glacier man’ Chewang Norphel.

Scientists are warning that superglacial ponds like this one are expanding to form lakes

Retreating glaciers over the last 14,000 years caused a population explosion among Adelie penguins – a trend that could continue as Antarctic ice shrinks further thanks to global warming.

In recent years, polar bears have become the lovable poster children for climate change in the Arctic.

The glaciers in the Himalayas are melting fast, agricultural heartland is drying up and the national capital New Delhi is choking on the world's filthiest air.

As glaciers melt and temperatures warm, more is at stake than the loss of ice.
