Dozens of people have been evacuated from a valley in northern Italy amid fears that a section of ice the size of a football field could collapse from a Mount Blanc glacier.
About 75 people, including 60 tourists, have left the Ferret Valley in the Alpine region of Valle d'Aosta.
Stefano Miserocchi, the mayor of Courmayeur, also closed a main road in the valley, according to the websites of the affected villages.
At a press conference on Friday, Valerio Segor, the region's director of natural risk management, said the evacuation could not be delayed.
"The measure could not be postponed following a survey of the glacier of Planpincieux that shows a section of 500,000 square meters of ice that could rapidly detach from the rock," Segor said.
Located in the Mont Blanc massif, the glacier has been under surveillance since 2012 because of the effects of climate change, according to Fabrizio Troilo, from the Montagna Sicura (Secure Mountain) Foundation, which is charged with monitoring the glacier.
The glacier is classified as a "temperate" one as opposed to "cold" because it has water between the mass of ice and mountain.

Don’t worry, won’t happen. Not savage enough for 2020.
it will happen eventually, hopefully after trump gets socked by covid19
@7X HARDER President Trump reversed global warming. Ice is now attacking. Damn you Trumpy!!!
@7X HARDER
Him and Kanye West
Yesterday this was news, today it’s cold tea
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🏾
Tomorrow is no food because the refrigerator is broken. You used all the ice in your coffee
Yep. The way 2020 is going, it wouldn’t be surprising if the news reported tomorrow that the Moon has decided to crash into the Earth.
CNN Breaking News: “Scientists say that the moon may crash into the earth in 3 days.”
@Cuomo Primetime Witty.
its actually moving away from the Earth. I can’t blame the moon. heck 2020 been such very bad year. the moon want to leave too lol

What’s on the back side of the moon?
@Cuomo Primetime Is this this same Cuomo that has a brother in New York?
I see an opportunity to make many, many, many frozen Margaritas.
🙂
Once all Ice is gone planet refrigerator is broken. No more food for you and your kids
Glacier, please don’t break! We have enough shity year already!

GLACIER: sorry man it happens it happens
A glacier breaking isn’t exactly a world changing event.
“Perfectly safe”
To go back in the water
That’s one bad hat Harry.
Maybe if we pay all the rich people there carbon tax that they want it Will solve all the problems lmfao
More filter water for us all! 😒
You won’t be able to drink any of this. It will end up in sea and that sea water will soon become flood water
My god that’s big really big if it falls look at the damage that it will do
So are they moving or waiting for it to become an emergency rescue response?
Daddy what is science? Don’t worry about that son we are Republican.
Your Democratic ran schools don’t even have science class anymore. It’s obvious you have a lot to learn yourself. Nice try though.
@Crossed Rifles Clearly looks like you hate dems more than you love your kids.

Science of evil
Crossed Rifles Did Trump University teach you where Thighland is located on a world map because I’m having a hard time finding it
Wow um not sure about the mayor’s talk of it being safe think I’ll start packing
At this point, melting glaciers should be a obvious warning sign or in this case, warming sign of climate change. 2020 will likely be the hottest year on record. We’re seeing melting glaciers, rising sea levels,’ore extreme floods, droughts, and more. Granted not every weather event is caused by global warming, but a warming climate can make them worst.
Stay safe Italy, with my Italian brothers 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇸🇮🇹
Drippy_ Tanner the rate of melting is increasing and humans are melting the glaciers.

Mr Gray but humans are speeding it up
22Halfbreed you do realize the last ice age ended 12,000 years ago and that we have been in a stable warm period known as the Holocene? The current warming is all because of human activity.

No “Solar Ice Age” Coming Soon
Just because earth was warmer than today millions of years ago doesn’t mean humans are rapidly warming now. In fact 125,000 years ago during the Emian interglacial, global temperatures were 1-2°C hotter than today yet sea levels were 20 feet higher than today. The current climate change is happening on a larger scale and we’re expecting a 4-5°C increase in earths temperature by 2100. Something earth has not seen for tens of millions of years. https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/hansen_15/

do you know the song: like ice in the sunshine? no? forget it!
Everyone get ur swimmies and floaties pool partyyyy!
Think i heard the same thing from the mayor in Jaws. The movie.
When the glacier breaks, I’ll have no place to stay.
..and it just so happens that the chunk of glacier tested positive for Covid-19.
Breaking News: A tree also fell over in the woods.
Moron. That ice is older than all your grandparents
Throughout the known universe, hundreds of stars go novae every minute. Let me guess, that too is Trumps fault?
