I came upon this really interesting audio/video slide show on the BBC news website today. It shows photos of various glaciers from the Himalayas. Cool pictures but who cares right? Well the photographer was taking pictures from the exact spots that previous explorers had taken pictures from on some of the first expeditions up Mount Everest and other Himalayan mountains. The contrasts between the glaciers today and 80ish years ago are astonishing.
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in climate, glaciers, hydrology, photography, mountaineering, climate change, water supply.....
