(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on April 16, 2026, shows satellite images obtained from Copernicus Sentinel Data 2026 showing the Cerros de la Plaza glacier (L) with some snow cover on December 28, 2015, and without snow cover in February 28, 2026 in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, northeastern Colombia. Where there used to be ice, now there are only rocks: one of the glaciers in a chain of snow-capped mountains in the Colombian Andes has vanished due to the high temperatures driven by climate change. Satellite images show how the ice sheet covering the mountain gradually shrank from 2015 until it disappeared in March 2026.
