Austrian glaciers shrink the most in five years
-----------------------------------------------
Sat Mar 29, 3:46 PM ET

VIENNA (AFP) - Austria's glaciers retreated more than 22 metres (24 yards)
on
average last year, in the biggest shrinking for five years, the country's
Alpine
Club said Saturday.

"All glaciers experienced melting and retreated... an average of 22.2
metres" in
the 2006-2007 period, the Alpine Club said, citing measurements of 93
glaciers
by its specialists who blamed milder than normal temperatures.

The record was on the Weisssee Ferner glacier in the Oetztal range of
southwest
Austria, which shrank 96.5 metres, while two more glaciers in the south
retreated by 87 and 84 metres respectively.

Glaciers in the east generally retreated less than the average, which was
itself
slightly below the 22.9 metres of 2002-2003, when most of Europe experienced
a
heatwave.

Average temperatures during the 2006-2007 winter were 3.2 degrees Celsius
above
normal for the season and 5.5 degrees higher for the month of April 2007.
The Austrian Alpine Club has been measuring the state of the country's
glaciers
for 115 years.
