Vanishing glaciers: Stunning Himalayas

[Stratman]

Stunning images of the vanishing glaciers in the Himalayas.

I'm not posting this as an argument for the global warming industry but purely to point you at some beautiful photographs. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the old (1920s) B&W pictures.

Beautiful images, and a powerful message too.

The 1920s images are stunning, its a shame how much the environment is changing and we may be to blame for that.

p.s The photographer who took the most recent photos has what I would describe as my dream job!

Just a real shame, and shocking how it's changed so fast.

I think about the impact man has on the environment and if we all collectively used cars less and saved power more then we might be able to slow it down or somehow stop it.

Quite how it could be reversed is a different matter

Those pictures are absolutely amazing, but the story thsat goes with it is quite asad one to knoe that in a few more years they will be all gone.

Stunning, love them. Like what he said you don't want to hike up a 19,000ft hill & find you are at the wrong one

I thought his 1st couple of images were a bit soft
