Switzerland and Italy are being forced to adjust their shared border in the Alps due to the rapid melting of glaciers, a direct consequence of climate change. The shifting ice has altered the topography of the region, particularly around the Matterhorn, one of Europe's most iconic mountains. This change affects a 330-foot-long segment of the border and highlights the growing impact of global warming on natural landscapes. The redrawn border will also affect nearby ski resorts, which are popular tourist destinations.
