Slovenia takes measures to save its last glacier, Skuta
The Skuta glacier is Slovenia's only remaining glacier after the near-complete disappearance of the glacier on Triglav. Over 80 years of observations, its area has shrunk from 2.5–3 to 1.5 hectares, and the ice thickness from tens of metres to just a few. Scientists link the melting to snow-poor winters and hot summers, and the consequences to the shallowing of the Drava and Mura rivers and the reduction of groundwater.
