The Cilo Mountains in southeastern Türkiye house ancient glaciers that are rapidly melting due to global warming. Professor Faruk Alaeddinoğlu warns that these glaciers, which have lost 55% of their area in the last 30 years, may disappear within 20 years if not preserved. He advocates for closing the area to visitors to protect these natural wonders, which are crucial for future generations. The situation reflects a broader global crisis affecting glaciers worldwide, leading to severe environmental consequences. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
