Indonesia’s tropical Eternity Glaciers could vanish within years, experts say
El Niño weather pattern could accelerate melting, leading to sea level rise

The agency, known as BMKG, has said the El Niño phenomenon could lead to the most severe dry season in Indonesia since 2019, increasing the risk of forest fires and threatening supplies of clean water.
