Melting glaciers in Dolomites reveal first world war munitions
Original: Melting glaciers in Dolomites reveal cache of first world war munitions
Retreating glaciers in the Dolomites have exposed a cache of first world war munitions, a legacy of the fighting between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces that took place in the high mountains between 1915 and 1918. The discovery highlights how climate change is exposing long-buried artefacts and hazards from the conflict, and experts are warning of the dangers posed by the ageing ammunition.
Why now: Rising temperatures are melting alpine ice, bringing hidden relics and dangers from the first world war back to light.
