\n Global warming tortured him till the end.<\/p>\n

A climate researcher has died as a result of the melting ice caps caused by rising global temperatures, his devastated colleagues claim.<\/p>\n

Glaciologist Konrad Steffen, 68, who pioneered the study of climate change, was confirmed dead on August 8 after app<\/a>arently falling into an icy abyss over Greenland.<\/p>\n

But those close to the Swiss-American scientist and his work claim that the type of cracks in the ice he fell into \u201cwere unheard of\u201d in the region up until recently, Mirror.co.uk reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like climate change actually claimed him as a victim,\u201d said friend Ryan Neely, a University of Leeds climate scientist.<\/p>\n

Steffen, director of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), had extensive experience with the frosty terrain over the western coastal town of Ilulissat, where he travel<\/a>ed annually for more than 30 years. Situated within a stunning Arctic landscape of icebergs and glacial waters, his longtime weather station, Swiss Camp, has become a research hub for rising sea levels.<\/p>\n

Authorities in Ilulissat declared Steffen dead after finding \u201csigns that the person fell through a crack in the glacier,\u201d according to police spokesperson Brian Thomsen, who spoke to local news<\/a>paper Sermitsiaq. Scientist Kathy Riklin explained that a snow bridge had likely collapsed beneath her colleague, plunging him through the ice sheet, Agence France reported at the time.<\/p>\n

Cracks in the ice were not on Steffen\u2019s radar when he first established Swiss Camp back in 1990. But within a mere decade of research, he found that winter temperatures in the region had spiked 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit, or 4 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n

Steffen was known as a vocal environmental advocate, often bringing politicians including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Vice President Al Gore to Swiss Camp to lobby on behalf of climate-change legislation. During a congressional hearing in 2017, he illustrated the amount of ice melting in Greenland each year as equal to<\/span> a mile-high column of water covering Washington, DC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neely also called his late mentor, known for never leaving camp without his satellite phone, a sleeping bag and a pack of Marlboros, a \u201clarger than life explorer-scientist that you typically only get the chance to read about.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
