Scientists in Argentina said Tuesday that a giant glacier in the southern part of the country could disappear before the end of this century. The Viedma Glacier has retreated nearly one mile in length since 1930. Scientists conducted a 20 year study from 1984 to 2004 and found that the glacier shrank by up to 20 percent. Melting glaciers are projected to cause sea levels to rise over the next several decades due to global climate change.
