Swiss-led researchers warn that tourism on melting glaciers may be destroying exactly the landscapes that visitors want to see before they disappear, and that geotextile covers and helicopter flights only exacerbate the problem instead of solving it.

Scientists identify 3,100 glaciers capable of triggering sudden advances, and global warming makes avalanches, floods, and river blockages more unpredictable, with 81 ice masses already identified as a direct threat to communities and infrastructure in regions like Karakoram and the Arctic

Thwaites and Pine Island could be the trigger of a global coastal crisis: the two most dangerous glaciers on the planet, giants of Antarctica, are already vulnerable to current warming and could initiate a chain collapse capable of raising sea levels by at least 1 meter.

What if Antarctica was once a place without ice, with forests and a climate much warmer than today? Understand when this happened, the role of CO2 in this transformation, and how this unexpected past helps to predict the future of the planet.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

Hidden beneath a small entrance in Namibia’s underground, the largest underground lake in the world is the size of 2 football fields, 264 meters deep, and even has rare animals that survive without sunlight.
