斯洛文尼亚最高峰特里格拉夫山（Triglav）上的最后一块冰川斑块已完全消融，这一事件成为今年欧洲经历有记录以来最热夏季后，阿尔卑斯山区冰川急剧退化的最新例证1。高温不仅导致了至少50,000人的死亡，还加速了冰雪圈的崩溃，瑞士地质学家数据显示该国近五分之一的冰量在过去五年中消失，且2026年体积下降了5.5%1。作为国家身份象征的一部分，特里格拉夫冰川的消失标志着斯洛文尼亚自然遗产的重大损失1。
回顾历史数据，该冰川在19世纪中期曾覆盖约40公顷面积，到1946年已缩小至14公顷，而在1983年至2003年的短短二十年间，其表面面积进一步损失了93%，并在过去五年内彻底融化殆尽1。对于这一变化，Anton Melik地理研究所所长Matija Zorn指出，特里格拉夫山“在斯洛文尼亚民族认同中占据核心地位”1。冰川学家Miha Pavšek则表达了深切的个人悲痛，他表示：“随着冰川的融化，我的一部分也随之离去。”1
The last remaining patch of ice on the Triglav glacier, located on Slovenia’s highest peak, has completely vanished 1. This event marks the latest instance of Alpine glacier degradation driven by extreme summer heat across Europe 1.
Between 1983 and 2003, the glacier lost 93% of its surface area, and it melted entirely over the past five years 1. Historical records show that in the mid-19th century, the glacier covered approximately 40 hectares, shrinking to 14 hectares by 1946 1.
Scientists note that this phenomenon is not only an indicator of climate change but also signifies the loss of an important part of Slovenia's national identity 1. Matija Zorn, director of the Anton Melik Geographical Institute, stated that Mount Triglav occupies a "central position" in Slovenian national identity 1. Glacier expert Miha Pavšek reflected on the disappearance, saying, “With the melting of the glacier, a part of me goes away” 1.
Contextualizing the broader impact, Europe experienced its hottest summer on record this year, which is estimated to have caused at least 50,000 heat-related deaths 1. In neighboring Switzerland, geologists discovered that nearly one-fifth of the country's ice volume disappeared over the past five years, with a 5.5% reduction in volume noted for 2026 1.
