Glacier at risk of collapse

-

Part of a glacier in Italy could collapse, according to experts from the Safe Mountains Foundation. It is part of the Mont Blanc group of mountains in the Alps, found along the borders of France, Italy and Switzerlan­d. The mayor of the nearby town of Courmayeur, Stefano Miserocchi, said the ice was melting because of climate change, which is the long-term changes in world weather patterns largely caused by human activities.
