Glaciers in the Himalayas are melting at an “exceptional” rate because of global warming, threatening the water supply of millions of people in Asia, a study published Monday said.
The glaciers are a critical water source for about 250 million people in the mountains and an additional 1.65 billion who live in the river valleys below, according to a report in 2019.
These rivers include the Ganges, Indus, and Brahmaputra. The Himalayan mountain range is home to the world’s third-largest amount of glacier ice, after Antarctica and the Arctic.
The region is often called the world’s “Third Pole” for its huge store of ice, and it is home to Mount Everest, K2, and other iconic peaks.
