Switzerland's glacier collapse: How a village vanished and what it means for the future

A devastating landslide, triggered by the Birch Glacier collapse, buried Blatten, Switzerland, prompting evacuations but leaving one missing. The disaster, attributed to climate change and rapid glacial melt, blocked the Lonza River, creating flood risks for downstream villages. With Switzerland's glaciers rapidly diminishing, experts warn of irreversible landscape changes, ecosystem instability, and potential water supply issues across Europe.
