The Tibet glacier is referred to as the globe's Third Pole. The melt feeds
the major rivers that provide China with sixty percent of the water consumed in
the country. Three mighty river systems in India/Pakistan serve six hundred
million for eight months of the year. That ice mass is fast receeding, and the
Ganga is now down to two thirds of it's original width. I hope I do not live
to see the day --- Eric.
