Turkey’s glaciers fall victim to climate change

Kemal Ozdemir looked up at the bare peaks of Mount Cilo in Turkey’ “There were glaciers 10 years ago,” he recalled under a cloudless sky. The glaciers of Mount Cilo, which rises to 4,135 meters in the province of Hakkari on the Iraqi border, are the second largest in the country behind those of Mount Ararat (5,137 meters ) — 250 kilometres (155 miles) further north.
