Svalbard Crisis: Glaciers Melt at Unprecedented Rates As Temperatures Soar

High summer temperatures caused record melting of the Norwegian archipelago’s glaciers. Summer 2024 saw Svalbard's ice caps melt at record levels, driven by high air temperatures and further exacerbated by a persistent heat dome over Scandinavia. This led to historical temperature highs and signi
