A large part of the glacier has partially destroyed the Swiss village of Blaton after crashing in the valley.
Although the village was vacated a few days ago as the birch glacier was disintegrated due to fear, a person has been reported to be missing, and many houses are completely flattened.
Blaton’s Mayor, Mathius Belwald, said, “has been unimaginable” but promised that the village still had a future.
Local authorities have requested support from the Swiss Army’s Disaster Relief Unit and members of the Swiss government are on the spot.
The disaster which is Blatten is the worst dream for communities in the Alps.
300 residents of the village had to leave their homes on May 19, when geologists warned after monitoring the region that the glacier appeared unstable. Now many of them can never return.
To fight tears back, Belvel said: “We have lost our village, but our heart. We will support each other and console each other. After a long night, it will be again in the morning.”
The Swiss government has already promised funds to ensure that residents can remain, if not only in the village, at least in the area.
However, Rafael Mayorz, the head of the regional office for natural threats, warned that more withdrawal in areas close to blutton may be necessary.
Climate change glaciers – rivers of snow – to melt rapidly and rapidly, and are often described as glue the permafrost, which keeps the high mountains together, also melts.
The drone footage showed a large part of the birch glacier at around 15:30 (14:30 BST) on Wednesday. The mud’s avalanche that swept over the bluton looked like a deaf, as it flowed down leaving a huge cloud of dust in the valley.
Glasiologists monitoring glacieologists have warned over the years that some Alpine towns and villages may be at risk, and blaston has not already been evacuated.
In eastern Switzerland, the residents of the village of Brianz were vacated two years ago as the hill over them was collapsing.
Since then, they have been allowed to return for a short period only.
In 2017, eight hikers were killed, and several houses were destroyed, when the biggest landslide in more than a century came close to Bondo village.
The most recent report in the position of Glaciers in Switzerland suggested that they all could go within a century, if the global temperature could not be kept within an increase of 1.5C from pre-industrial levels, then the Paris has agreed ten years ago by about 200 countries under the Climate Agreement.
Many climate scientists suggest that the target has already been survived, which means that the glacier will continue to accelerate the threat, increase the risk of floods and landslides, and more communities such as blastons will be threatened.
