The last remaining glacier on Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, may have disappeared. A photograph by Reuters photographer Borut Zivulovic circulated alongside a Dutch Volkskrant report noting that what was still there on Monday might already be gone. People are sharing the images as a stark marker of accelerating alpine ice loss in Central Europe.
Why now: The possible disappearance of Slovenia's last glacier is a vivid, immediate sign of climate change.
