Miha Pavšek, from the Geografical Institute of Anton Melik at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences, stated that the glacier is shrinking. Scientists have been monitoring the Triglav Glacier since 1946, when it covered approximately 14 hectares. It is estimated that in the late 19th century, the glacier may have been around 40 hectares. Over the course of the 20th century, it gradually melted, with the rate accelerating in recent years."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"Accelerating climate change and unusually early snowmelt are cited as reasons for the rapid melting. The glacier received below-average snowfall last winter, which melted earlier than usual, leaving the remaining ice exposed to summer heat for longer. Pavšek, who has observed the Triglav Glacier for 30 years, noted that even a protected, shady spot could not save the remaining ice. The disappearance of glaciers in Europe is occurring rapidly, partly because the continent is warming faster than the rest of the world. The melting of the Triglav Glacier, along with other glaciers in Austria, could lead to a problem with water availability in the Dráva and Mura river basins, which are important sources for irrigation in Slovenia."},{"type":"heading","text":"Coverage comparison"},{"type":"heading","text":"What the coverage left out"},{"type":"paragraph","text":"None of the left or centre-rated reports mentioned the estimated size of the Triglav Glacier in the late 19th century, which was around 40 hectares.
