On Tuesday, Ginger appeared on the show, but from a different location.
She walked on the Morteratsch Glacier in Switzerland and talked about how they are melting too fast.
The GMA host stayed bundled up as she talked to people who are trying to save the glacier.
Judging by her Instagram post, it appears that Ginger’s last day in Switzerland was Thursday.
She only stayed overseas for a few days, as Ginger returned to the set on Thursday.
Ginger reported on the weather and said that it is still hurricane season, so watch out.
Aside from talking to her co-hosts about the glaciers, Ginger also posted to her Instagram while standing on the snowy surface.
She captioned the post: “More from Morteratsch Glacier! 6% ice loss across Switzerland’s glaciers. That’s 3x the years they usually call “extreme” 2%…”

“Ok, so we are on the glacier this morning, Morteratsch. So this is just the very end of it. It’s called the tongue,” the meteorologist informed her followers.
“But right behind me is the majesty of the mountains, but if you can see that line where looks like they’ve been sliding, they have we watched them, that is about 600 feet up.”
The GMA host continued: “And that is where the width of the ice was once, so it’s not just the length that diminishes over time. It’s the width and the volume.”
“And it goes both ways. It goes up and down in history.”
She then proceeded to show off where the glacier once was and then worried fans as she trekked down the glacier.
It was windy, rainy, and rocky, as Ginger held the camera and walked down the glacier.
STAY SAFE!
Fans took to the comments to express their concern for her in the dangerous location.
“Wow! Very interesting! You have the best job! Stay safe!” said one follower.
“Keep up the good work but be safe,” wrote another.
A third said: “Ginger, please be safe!”
“That looks dangerous. Hope everyone stays safe,” commented a fan.
Others thanked her for her reporting and others said it was: “Incredible.”
TWIST OF FATE
After returning back to the states this week, Ginger made a shocking announcement.
There is going to be a new ABC correspondent.
The meteorologist, 41, welcomed journalist Matt Rivers to his new role as Mexico City correspondent.
She also revealed that he grew up with fellow weather reporter Sam Wnek.
Sam is a meteorologist and producer for the morning show and ABC.
Ginger’s GMA co-star Gio Benitez also welcomed Matt’s arrival.
He said: “Excited to have you on our team.”
And, national correspondent Kenneth Moton posted: “Welcome to the ABC family, Matt.
“Seems like we were on those streets of Philly covering news just yesterday. Congratulations.”
ABC announced on October 24 that Matt had joined the network.
He previously worked as an international correspondent for CNN and was stationed in Mexico City.
ABC president Kim Godwin said: “I am excited that Matt is joining our talented and growing international newsgathering team.
“In the midst of this busy news cycle, I know he and the team will help us stay on top of some of the most important issues impacting the world.”
