Venezuela Loses All Glaciers

Venezuela has become the first country in modern times to lose all its glaciers, with the Humboldt glacier in the Andes shrinking to less than 2 hectares, now classified as an ice field. This rapid melting is attributed to climate change, political challenges, and the El Niño event. The loss of glaciers in Venezuela underscores the broader global trend of rapidly melting glaciers, emphasizing the urgent need for climate action and heightened environmental awareness.
