Inhaltsangabe

We intend to highlight fragility of high altitude environments that are particularly vulnerable to climate change. The high peaks of the Hindukush and Himalayas are a vast storehouse of water in frozen form, with the world's greatest concentration of ice outside the polar region. This "third pole" helps to provide the water that 1.3 billion people depend on for survival, along with the annual monsoon, which is also impacted by climate change.
