  "summary": "Switzerland’s glaciers are disappearing at an alarming rate, losing more than 5% of their ice volume in 2026 alone. Some of the country’s most famous glaciers experienced their worst melting on record, while several smaller glaciers vanished completely. Nearly 20% of Switzerland’s glacier ice has disappeared in just five years, driven by unusually snowless winters and extreme summer heat.",
