A portion of the border between Italy and Switzerland will be redrawn because of the melting glaciers. The two countries have agreed to change the border beneath the Matterhorn Peak, one of the highest peaks in the Alps. The Swiss government stated, "With the melting of the glaciers, these natural elements are evolving and redefining national borders." While the Swiss government officially approved the regulation today, the approval process continues in Italy. The Swiss government announced that the agreement will be published and the details of the new border will be shared with the public once both parties complete the signing process. GLACIERS IN EUROPE ARE MELTING RAPIDLYEurope, the fastest warming continent in the world, has had a severe impact on its glaciers. In Switzerland, glaciers lost 4% of their volume last year, experiencing the second-largest annual decline on record. The largest decline in the country occurred in 2022, with a drop of 6%. The remains of a German mountaineer who went missing while crossing a glacier near the Matterhorn about 40 years ago were found in the melting ice last July. In 2022, 11 people lost their lives due to the collapse of a glacier in the Italian Alps.
