The snow-capped southern peak of Sweden's tallest mountain Kebnekaise has been battling global warming for years. It is sad to see how it's just melting,” Tarfala mountain station attendant Ninis Rosqvist told Sweden's public broadcaster SVT on Monday. The unusually snowy spring and cold summer in northern Sweden helped the glacier grow, she explained. When Kebnekaise's north peak does overtake, it will make climbing to Sweden's highest point significantly more challenging.
