More than 250 unexploded bombs from the First World War have emerged as Italy's high-altitude glaciers in the Dolomites melt at an accelerating rate. A record-warm summer is believed to have sped up the thaw, bringing long-frozen wartime artifacts and munitions to the surface. The find highlights both the mountains' brutal military history and the visible impact of rising temperatures on alpine ice.

Why now: The discovery connects striking WWI history with ongoing, visible effects of climate change on Alpine glaciers.
