It seems, from a distance, only snow but if you look carefully ... The images that come from Switzerland are spectacular and dramatic at the same time where on the Rhone glacier (Glacier du Rhone), the oldest glacier in the Alps, special tarps have been laid to prevent the dramatic melting of snow and ice, caused by global warming and climate change, from worsening. Tourists and walkers walk paths completely covered by what seem, sadly, huge white sheets on the furniture of a now closed house.
