Khumbu Glacier - Mt. Everest - The Glaciers of the Himalayas

GlacierWorks: Rivers of Ice

The Mission
The Glaciers
The Greater Himalaya is home to the greatest concentration of subpolar glaciers in the world. But, slowly, they have begun to disappear.
The Rivers
From the Indus to the Brahmaputra, many of Asia’s major river systems rely on the glaciers for a portion of their perennial water supply.
The People
The GlacierWorks team is currently in the field, collecting new and valuable information about the people who rely on the glaciers for their perennial water supply.
The Team
Covering hundreds of miles of the Himalayan Region and hundreds of years of exploration, our team fuses the past and the present into one illuminating whole.
