A glacier on Sweden's Kebnekaise mountain is no longer the country's highest point following record high Arctic melt.

Researches have been measuring the peak since 1880, and have found it melting by one meter every year for the past two decades. Since July 2nd it has lost four meters of snow.

Stockholm University researchers have attributed climate change to the weather event and are amongst many expressing concern of high temperatures, some of which have triggered wildfires across the country.
