Humboldt Glacier, Venezuela
Humboldt Glacier, 2002
Humboldt Glacier, 2024
Venezuela may be the first nation in modern history to lose all its glaciers after climate scientists downgraded its last one to an ice field. The International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI said that the nation's only remaining glacier - the Humboldt, or La Corona, in the Andes - had become too small to be classed as a glacier. Researchers found that the glacier had shrunk from 450 hectares to just two. The images were acquired July 21, 2002 and March 15, 2024. They cover an area of 14.2 by 15.3 km, and are located at 8.5 degrees north, 71 degrees west.
