A glacier that is located in the highlands of Italy is currently melting away. There is, it should go without saying, a group of academics hard at work trying to keep track of this sad incident. This is a momentous occasion because it has brought to light something incredible that was concealed in the ice. Something that has been kept a secret for what must be at least a hundred years! They unearthed a surprising truth that dates back to the First World War when it came time to take a closer look at it… In light of the impending danger posed by climate change, what other mysteries are there in this region of the world that we have yet to uncover? People in the area and further afield have been shaken up by the response to this question, feeling both dread and exhilaration as a result.
The Great War Threw Europe Into Chaos
During the struggle in question, which is often commonly referred to as the Great War, Europe had been in a state of complete and utter anarchy. During that time period, one of the bloodiest battlefields in the world was located in this part of the Italian Alps. The problem is that there are neither plaques nor museums at the precise places of the conflicts to document their occurrence. In the past, the only things you could find there were patches of snow and frozen water. In this part of the planet, the landscape was shaped almost entirely by the glaciers.
