Within just a few years, the Pico Humboldt glacier, at an altitude of 4,940 meters in the Sierra Nevada National Park, will have completely disappeared. This is the last glacier in Venezuela, the melting of which has been accelerated by the climate crisis, especially in the last decade. And now a new biodiversity is colonising the rocks left bare by the retreating ice. This is stated in a new study by the Institute of Environmental and Ecological Sciences of the University of the Andes (Ula) documenting the impact of climate change on Andean glaciers.
