ZURICH, Switzerland - Glaciers are shrinking at record rates and many
could disappear within decades, the U.N. Environment Program said
Sunday.

NORWAY


"Major changes in Norway's glaciers

During the last century glaciers in Norway retreated as glaciers in
other parts of the world. However, in the 1990s many Norwegian
glaciers advanced as a result of several winters in a row with
precipitation above normal. During the last four years, however,
Norwegian glaciers have decreased significantly, shrinking both in
volume and length. Several consecutive years of little winter
precipitation, and record-warm summers in 2002 and 2003, have taken
their toll."

Engabreen glacier (The Engabreen glacier

is the second largest glacier in Norway. It is a

part (a glacial tongue) of the Svartisen glacier,

which has steadily increased in mass since the

1960s when heavier winter precipitation set in.)

Norway's glaciers growing at record pace. The face of the Briksdal
glacier, an off-shoot of the largest glacier in Norway and mainland
Europe, is growing by an average 7.2 inches (18 centimeters) per day.

GREENLAND See Greenland Icecap Growing Thicker

Greenland glacier advancing 7.2 miles per year! The BBC recently ran a
documentary, The Big Chill, saying that we could be on the verge of an
ice age. Britain could be heading towards an Alaskan-type climate within
a decade, say scientists, because the Gulf Stream is being gradually cut
off. The Gulf Stream keeps temperatures unusually high for such a
northerly latitude.

One of Greenland's largest glaciers has already doubled its rate of
advance, moving forward at the rate of 12 kilometers (7.2 miles) per
year. To see a transcript of the documentary, go tohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2003/bigchilltrans.shtml

NEW ZEALAND

All 48 glaciers in the Southern Alps have grown during the past year.

The growth is at the head of the glaciers, high in the mountains, where
they

gained more ice than they lost. Noticeable growth should be seen at the

foot of the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers within two to three years.(27
May 2003)

SOUTH AMERICA

- Argentina's Perito Moreno Glacier (the largest glacier in
Patagonia)

is advancing at the rate of 7 feet per day. The 250 km² ice
formation,

30 km long, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian
Ice

Field. This ice field, located in the Andes system shared with
Chile,

is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water.

- Chile's Pio XI Glacier (the largest glacier in the southern
hemisphere)

is also growing.
