The glaciers of the Andes Mountains have retreated at an unprecedented rate in the past three decades, with more ice lost than at any other time in the last 400 years.
The Andes name comes from the Quechua word anti, meaning east. The Andes is a 4,300 mile-long mountain range located in South America that straddles seven countries, namely Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. South American cities of La Paz, MÃ©rida, Sucre, MedellÃ­n, Arequipa, BogotÃ¡, and Quito are some of the major cities on its many plateaus.
