Slovenian ice caves disappearing at a fast pace

Ljubljana, 14 October - Slovenia has a number of ice caves, but due to climate change ice volumes in the caves are dwindling fast. Ice caves at lower altitudes have virtually lost their ice and as ice disappears, so does the information that accumulated for thousands of years. Researchers hope to extract as much knowledge as possible before it is too late.
