Global warming is melting 18,000 Himalayan glaciers, the largest concentration of glaciers outside the polar ice sheets. Their melting spells trouble for not only 2 billion Asians but the whole world.

MediaStorm and Asia Society have collaborated to produce On Thinner Ice: Melting Glaciers on the Roof of the World, examining the loss of these glaciers and what it means for all of us.

The project includes a narrative introduction,  “then and now” images, and a wealth of additional resources for anyone interested in learning more.
