\n Remarkable aerial pictures show pink-colored snow in the Presena glacier in the Italian Alps.<\/p>\n

A number of news reports say the strange pink snow in the glacier near Pellizano is the result of the algae Ancylonela nordenskioeldii, which is typically found in Greenland.<\/p>\n

However, Biagio Di Mauro, a researcher at the Institute of Polar Science<\/a>s in Italy\u2019s National Research Council tweeted that the pink snow was probably the result of Chlamydomonas nivalis, which is a snow alga. Ancylonema nordenskioeldii, he explained, is a glacier alga.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon is quite common in the Alps, Di Mauro tweeted.<\/p>\n

Imporant clarification:
<\/br>1- The alga was probably Chlamydomonas nivalis (a snow alga), not Ancylonema nordenskioeldi (a glacier alga)
<\/br>2- the phenomen is quite common in the Alps
<\/br>3- the relationship with climate change has yet to be proven@guardian @afpfr https:\/\/t.co\/mG6RARexTD<\/p>\n

A number of news reports cited a possible link between the pink snow and climate change, although Di Mauro said that this is yet to be proven.<\/p>\n

In a study published in the European Journal of Phycology in 2005, scientists described Chlamydomonas nivalis. \u201c\u2018Red snow\u2019, the macroscopic expression of a massive growth of unicellular algae on alpine and polar snow fields, has been a well-known phenomenon for more than 2000 years,\u201d they wrote.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
