3D mapping captures an Indonesian tropical glacier before it disappears
A detailed open-source 3D model is documenting one of the world’s last tropical glaciers in Indonesia as scientists warn the remaining ice may vanish by 2030.
- Researchers created a detailed 3D model of a glacier near Indonesia’s Puncak Jaya.
- The area has lost 97% of its ice cover since 1980, and the last two glaciers may disappear by 2030.
