La Corona, the last glacier in Venezuela, has melted to the point that it is no longer considered a glacier.
While all the glaciers atop the Andes Mountain range along South America have shrunk over time, Venezuela is the first country within the range to have lost enough surface area to no longer have any glaciers on its peaks. La Corona sits on the Humboldt Peak and is now considered an ice field by the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative, like its previous six glaciers.
