Melting Glaciers of the 3rd Pole

Pakistan has glaciers more than anywhere except in the polar region (North and South Pole). The country’s northern part Gilgit Baltistan (GB) is known as the Land of Glaciers. However, a dramatic change in environment is eating up the iced mountains in the Karakorum and the Hindu Kush Range — it is increasing risk to lives, species, resources, etc. downstream.
