12 billing of Mexico – nine Orissaba Peak And three Iztaccíatl – According to the research of the Mexico National Autonomous University (UNAM), it is on the verge of disappearing within five years.
Pushed by rising global temperature and volcanic activity, threatening the loss of glaciers Water supply, Biodiversity and cultural heritage, researchers said. Mexico’s second smallest ceiling, BopadogateAlready without glaciers for more than 20 years.
On March 21, during a symposium titled “Glacier, Climate Change and Local Water Management” in Yunam Heating Climate.
“The ice accumulation equilibrium line is now sitting for over 5,300 meters – the highest higher the Mexican glacier,” said the UMAM Institute of Geophysics researcher.
Three glaciers in Istaksahwad, which are only 0.2 square kilometers, continues only because they have shelter in volcanic grooves, he added.
“It protects them in some way,” he said. “But, if you look at the iceberg, they should no longer be.”
Mexico’s third highest mountain is Istakuswat, at a height of 5,230 meters (17,160 feet) above sea level. In the Nahwad language for snow-covered peaks similar to a sleeping woman, the “white woman” did not explode in the passive volcanic-thousands of years-about 55 kilometers southeast of the city of Pubela and Mexico.
Its iceberg mass recorded a loss of 20% between 1964 and another study in 2005, referring to 10,122 square meters of retreat per year.
Nine glaciers named in Pico de Orissaba have suffered more obvious losses, ie Gran Norde lost 90% of its mass between 1958 and 2001, and the Oriental is declining by 50% between 2003 and 2018, According to studies.
Nahuwad for Sitlaldbett (Nahwad for “Star Mountan), measuring 5,636 meters (18,491 feet), which is the highest peak of Mexico and the tallest volcano in North America. Located on the border of Puebla and Varagruz, it did not explode since 1846. Its Jamaba glacier is the largest country, with an area of about 9.1 sq km and provides the main fresh water for the nearby areas.
. As Bopadogate -The volcano in the process and the second highest high-ceiling-its glaciers of Mexico have disappeared completely by 2001, their disappearance Rushed by eruptions.
Standing at a height of 5,426 meters (17,802 feet), Bobocatbetl in Nahuwat, “Smoking Mountain”, has been active since 1994, releasing gray and gas. And occasionally flows the volcano.
In local stories, it is nicknamed “Don Goo” (less for Goyo Gregorio) for its interaction with St. Gregorie, which is about 70 kilometers in the city of Mexico, which prevents the borders of the state of Puebla, Moros and Mexico.
The volcanoes are within three trans-mexican volcanic belt.
Historical photos underline the retreat. The 1920s shows the blanket Iztaccíhuatl and popocatépetl in the snow; By 2018, there was only an empty rock. That year, the Iztaccíhuatl Ayoloco iceberg was declared extinct and marked by a memorial plate.
Return glaciers have significant challenges to nearby communities, increasing the shortage of water in a nation, already in drought and pollution.
Glus contributes about 5% The country’s freshwater supply, Vice President of the Mexican Association for Proper Hydroeing, Ramiro Lopez Aguire, wrote in the newspaper of El Bas.
The glacier retreats disrupts the environmental systems and prevents mountain peaks from absorbing heat.
“Glaciers reflect solar radiation,” Lopez Akuir wrote, “He acts as a natural shield against excessive warming.”
Worldwide, UNESCO glaciers suggest that the 9,000 Gigodon snow has been lost since 1975 – enough to cover Germany in 25 meters of snow – and contributed to 2.7 centimeters in sea level since 1961. Over 2 billion people worldwide relies on ice -melting water for drinking, agriculture and energy production.
As the temperature continues to rise – 2024 was a registered hot year – countries such as Argentina and Chile have enacted laws to protect glaciers from industrial activities such as mining.
However, Delgado argues that Mexico should focus on adaptation rather than safety as its 11 glaciers are already beyond storage.
During the 96 -minute UNAM round schedule discussion, Delgado said, “We can save icebergs, but it is no longer the question of how to convert to a world without them. It can be found on YouTube (If desired, click “Settings” to set automatically translate subtitles in English).
