The glacier on Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, has effectively disappeared following an exceptionally hot summer, prompting mourning in the Alpine country. Observers describe the loss as a symbolic marker of climate change's impact on European mountains, with the glacier long considered a national natural landmark now reduced to vanishing ice remnants.
