(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on April 16, 2026, shows satellite images obtained from Copernicus Sentinel Data 2026 showing the Cerros de la Plaza glacier (L) with some snow cover on December 28, 2015, and without snow cover in February 28, 2026 in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, northeastern Colombia.
