## Caption

Glaciers across Europe have been receding since the 1870s, but the process has accelerated since the early 1980s, a phenomenon widely attributed to global warming. Photographer Sean Gallup documented this alarming decline at the Aletsch and Rhone glaciers in Switzerland and the Pasterze and Waxeggkees glaciers in Austria | 📷: seangallup | #GettyImagesNews⁠
