A 10,000-year-old glacier in Slovenia is possibly days away from melting entirely.

The Triglav Glacier, a once-popular skiing spot high in the Alps near Slovenia's border with both Austria and Italy, has been monitored by scientists since 1946, when it covered 34 acres.

But years of climate change and rising temperatures, coupled with below-average snowfall last winter and premature melting this spring, have brought one of Slovenia's last glaciers to the precipice of extinction.

Melting glaciers pose real concerns for European nations. In Switzerland, over the past five years alone, glaciers have lost nearly 20% of their ice, threatening the supply of water and hydroelectric power.

The water off Thailand's Ko Lan island has turned a vibrant shade of green thanks to a plankton bloom, keeping many tourists out of the water. But scientists say the bigger concern may be what's happening beneath the surface, where oxygen levels are falling.

Kariyachalli is one of 21 islands off India’s Tamil Nadu coast, and has already lost more than 80 percent of its landmass over the past 50 years due to coral mining, bleaching and rising sea levels. Scientists warn it could vanish entirely by 2036 without intervention.
