The demise of a glacier

It's happening all over the world, the Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia is just the latest example I found.

Look at the chart of how quickly it is retreating, keeping in mind that this glacier is thought to be around 18,000 years old and that it has lost 80% of its area in the last 20 years.

Scientists keeping track of its demise were projecting its complete disappearance around 2015, but those projections keep changing and now they're predicting it will be gone by either this year or the next.
