Scientists have found that ice loss from the world's highest mountains is happening faster due to rising temperatures. By the end of the century, these peaks could lose up to 80% of their volume. As per Nepal's International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, glaciers in the Hindu Kush and Himalayan mountains melted 65% faster between 2010 to 2019 compared to the previous decade.
