The Trento provincial government said rescue operations were in progress after a large "ice avalanche" involving hikers, adding that there was likely to be a "heavy toll".
The avalanche took place on the Marmolada, which at more than 3,300 metres is the highest mountain in the Dolomites, a range in the eastern Italian Alps straddling the regions of Trento and Veneto.

Wait. I read the article and it is already in place. Heavens to Betsy, it got up to a whopping 50 degrees on the top of the mountain in summer. Shocking!
To: coloradan
That is indeed what the article implies.

I can see it now, "Really? What if I get hit by a meteorite while I'm out there? Or a glacier falls on me? Oh, that can't happen? Well here's this article..."

Wait how can this be possible? I have been repeatedly snd reliably informed by cnn that due to global warming there are no more glaciers.

It looks to be an ice patch on a rocky outcrop on the side of the mountain. It was not global baloney warming but gravity that played a big part in the ice and snow falling.
