Duncan Porter and his wife Helen were shocked by the difference 15 years after their visit to the Swiss Alps. The couple shared images of the glacier melting, which went viral on social media.
In the first photo, Duncan and Helen are seen embracing with the Rhône Glacier in Switzerland in the background, still intact. In the following image, 15 years later, the glacier has turned into a lake with the Alps’ slopes visible.
“I’m not going to lie, it made me cry,” Duncan wrote in the caption of the X post that has already reached over 4 million views.
In the comments, Duncan had to explain that the purpose of the post was to show how the glacier had been drastically affected by climate change. “What people should focus on is the speed of the change,” he wrote.
According to reports from the New York Times, scientists have documented a 10% loss in the original water volume of Swiss glaciers.
