climate change report released last month by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
With the climate clock ticking, here’s a look at seven iconic destinations that could soon be no more.The Athabasca Glacier in Canada’s Jasper National Park is the most-visited glacier in North America. Part of the larger Columbia Icefield, it’s one of the surviving remnants of a large ice mass that once dominated much of the mountain range in Western Canada. Each year, thousands are drawn to the picturesque glacier, situated at the base of several mountain peaks.
Overexploitation of the Dead Sea’s water and minerals is depleting the site . And groundwater that’s routinely extracted from the region has even led to seismic activity in the area, according to an article published in the science journal “Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.”
