Graphic Vital Climate Cha... Retreat of the snowcapped volcano of Santa Isabel, Colombia

Retreat of the snowcapped volcano of Santa Isabel, Colombia

Between 1959 and 1996, the snowcapped volcano of Santa Isabel in Colombia showed a 44% decrease in its ice-covered peak. This process of decrease in ice has continued, causing it to lose its attraction as a tourist site, with significant economic consequences.

Year: 2010
