flag Eight Swedish glaciers vanished in 2024 due to record heat from human-caused climate change, first confirmed by satellite data in 2025.

flag Eight Swedish glaciers disappeared in 2024 due to record heat linked to global warming, marking the first time since satellite monitoring began around 2000 that entire glaciers have vanished in the country. flag The lost glaciers, including Sweden’s northernmost, Cunujokeln, were confirmed through satellite data analyzed in early 2025. flag Researchers initially doubted the findings but verified the absence. flag The largest was about the size of six football pitches. flag The extreme melting was driven by 2024 being the hottest year on record, attributed to human-caused climate change. flag While cooler weather and heavy snowfall in 2025 may reduce further losses, experts warn continued warming threatens more glacier disappearance. flag Thirty other glaciers remain at risk.
