Frozen mountain peak collapses due to climate change.

The summit of Fluchthorn, a mountain in the Swiss Alps, collapsed due to thawing permafrost caused by climate change. No one was injured by the rockfall, but scientists warn that similar events are to be expected as ancient frozen ground degrades. Most mountain peaks above 8,202 feet (2,500 m) in the Alps are covered by permafrost, which runs deep into cracks in the solid rock, helping to glue them together. Without it, mountainsides can become unstable, leading to landslides and rockfalls.
