The phenomenon is caused by algae that develops when snow melts（融化 rónghuà）, simultaneously making the ice a darker color. In a vicious circle, the algae in turn increases the rate at which the snow melts by accelerating the absorption of radiation. | Learn Chinese | Facebook

According to Italian media, the glacier has lost one-third of its surface in less than 20 years. Officials say the tarp will save about 70% of the snow over the summer season. | Pattrn | Facebook
