{"Image ImageDescription": "GINZLING, AUSTRIA - AUGUST 16: Sheep graze on an alpine meadow high above valleys ground smooth by the retreating Schwarzensteinkees, Hornkees and Waxeggkees glaciers in the Zillertal Alps on August 16, 2019 near Ginzling, Austria. Glaciers in the region have retreated significantly over the last 100 years, with many having mostly lost the tongues that descended over a kilometer long into basins they ground from the rock. While the retreat of glaciers across Europe is part of a natural process that began with the end of the Little Ice Age in the mid-19th century, the acceleration of the melting since the 1960s is a phenomenon many scientists attribute to human activity that is further warming Earth's climate.
