Description
In this National Geographic News article, read about the establishment of an unmanned monitoring station on Nepal's longest glacier that will help researchers investigate the ice-melt threat in the Himalaya mountain range. Billions of people depend on the Himalayas for water, but scientists fear these water supplies could eventually dry up as glaciers melt due to global warming.
