GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 08: In this aerial view from a drone water runs down in rivulets on the melting Northern Schneeferner glacier into a small lake on the Zugspitze plateau (Zugspitzplatt) on September 08, 2020 near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. According to a recent study by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), an association of scientists, the Northern Schneeferner will not last into the second half of this century while its neighbor, the smaller Southern Schneeferner, is likely to disappear completely within coming years. Both glaciers have retreated continuously since 1980, which scientists attribute to global warming. The two glaciers were once part of the Plattachferner glacier, which in the 19th century covered the plateau with 300 hectares of ice. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
