❄️🌿 The Glacier’s Green Series - 2/10
🌺 Saxifraga Oppositifolia (Purple Saxifrage)

ℹ️ Found in the high Arctic and alpine regions of Europe and North America, the Purple Saxifrage is a resilient plant that thrives in harsh paraglacial environments. You can spot this beautiful plant near glaciers like the Vatnajökull in Iceland and the Canadian Rockies.

🔥 Climate change poses a significant threat to this species as rising temperatures cause glaciers to retreat, altering their habitat. The loss of glacial meltwater can lead to a decline in their populations.
