💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏔️🧊 Even the Pamir and Tien Shan #glaciers – long considered stable – are now melting fast.

In 2025, Kangxiwa Glacier lost 4 times its average annual #ice, driven by months of persistent heat and dark, #snow-free ice that absorbed more sunlight. Scientists confirm the region’s “#water tower” for Central #Asia is no longer resisting global trends.

Wenn ich überlege wie weit das weg ist, und doch hatte ich mal jemanden kennengelernt, der nicht lange vor dem fatalen Törn noch an Bord war https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamir_(Schiff)

🚙💨 High up on Khargush Pass on Pamir Highway (M41) at 14,000+ ft, we realized freedom isn’t a fantasy — it’s a choice. The Vagabond Couple drove Shehzadi, our Toyota Tundra, across legendary dangerous & breathtaking mountain pass where the “road” is a rumor of gravel & ruts.
