France 24 reported Wednesday, Nov. 11, that Aneto’s glacier is expected to disappear within a decade, a change the broadcaster said could help glaciologists examine how warming affects mountain ice.
Aneto is Spain’s highest summit in the Pyrenees, and the outlet characterized the glacier’s retreat as swift. France 24 also described its loss as a sign of global warming and a potential source of insight for glaciologists.
A separate 2025 study in Nature Climate Change projected that about 50% of glaciers counted today could remain in 2100 under 1.5°C of warming. Under 2.7°C of warming, it estimated that roughly 20% would remain. Those estimates count individual glaciers rather than measure total ice mass. EconoTimes has previously covered the global glacier projections.
