... The determination needed to keep melting snow for water and cooking can ultimately be more valuable than the skill needed to climb steep ice.»

Lower reflectivity would likely increase the snow's melt rate because it means more sunlight gets absorbed, though that wasn't directly shown.

When snow melts in response to warming, more sunlight can be absorbed at Earth's surface because most surfaces have a lower reflectivity than snow.

That's a problem because the darker the snow is, the more sunlight it absorbs, and the faster it melts.

The shrinking sea ice drives a classic positive feedback loop: as more ice melts, fewer patches of white snow reflect solar energy, and larger regions of dark, sunlight - absorbing seawater open up — both causing the ice to melt even faster.

Snow on the glaciers is melting, causing more water to flow into valley, and this means more water for irrigation.

Simpler models can reproduce the bright melt layer, but a more detailed model like this one can help scientists understand it better, particularly how the layer is related to the type of melting snow and the radar wavelengths used to observe it.

The snow has also melted much more, and gravel is visible.

The rise in temperatures would raise the freezing line on the mountain, exposing more ice to melt and reducing the area where nourishing snow falls.

With higher precipitation, portions of this snow may not melt during the summer and so glacial ice can form at lower altitudes and more southerly latitudes, reducing the temperatures over land by increased albedo as noted above.
