Eternal snow near the equator is disappearing
Original: nieve
For centuries, permanent snow and ice persisted on a mountain just a few kilometres from the equator, a rare natural phenomenon. Now that ice is melting at an accelerating pace, and scientists warn its loss will erase something irreplaceable, including climate records and unique ecosystems frozen in the ice for thousands of years. Readers are reacting to the finality of the loss, noting that once the glacier disappears, nothing can bring it back.
Why now: Reports of rapidly vanishing equatorial glaciers are drawing attention to accelerating climate change
