The Pizol glacier in the Glarus Alps in eastern Switzerland has been retreating as temperatures climb.

Mels, Switzerland - Hundreds of climate activists paid their respects to a Swiss glacier on Sunday that is due to disappear over the next decade, the victim of a warming environment.

"I have climbed up here countless times," said Matthias Huss glaciologist at ETH Zurich university, addressing the people who joined the march."It is like the dying of a good friend." The gathering in Switzerland, which has about 1,500 glaciers, mirrors an action in August when activists and others in Iceland commemorated a melted glacier there. [nL5N25E08Q]
