A new feat of Chinese scientists has come to light. Scientists have covered Glacier Dago with a blanket to save it from extinction.
Due to climate change, the world's temperature is constantly rising and glaciers are melting faster, there are many glaciers that are close to extinction, such a glacier in China called ' Dagu 'is. Scientists have covered the glacier with blankets to prevent it from disappearing altogether.
According to sources, scientists had experimentally covered the glacier with a blanket last year to see if it would slow down the melting of the glacier. Now, the scientists have revealed the results of this research to the world.
In these results, he said, blanketing glaciers significantly reduces the rate of melting and in this way, the risk of extinction of glaciers such as Dagu can be saved to some extent. People in Switzerland have been doing the same thing since 2009 and trying to save their glaciers from extinction.
The world's largest glacier, the Lambert Glacier, is located in Antarctica. According to the United Nations Geological Survey, it has a total length of 435 km and a width of 96 km. Gem Glacier, the world's smallest glacier, is located in the United States.
The world's oldest glaciers are found in Antarctica and Greenland. The world's oldest glacier is about one million years old, located in Antarctica, while the oldest glacier in Greenland (Denmark) is about 100,000 years old.
After Antarctica, Pakistan has the highest number of glaciers in the world. The largest glacier in Pakistan is Baltoro Glacier Baltoro which is about 62 km long and is located in Karakoram.
