💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

Umha entrevista que deveriam ver estes "soberanistas" nossos, tan "internacionalistas" e "solidários" com os povos oprimidos, que estám a aplaudir que venha o Estado chinês fazer negócio ao/c'o nosso país: https://sobreviviraldescalabro.org/chiara-olivieri/

China Overland Part 2 is live: Kashgar to Golmud around the Tarim Basin. Kuqa bazaar, Qiuci music, Subashi Buddhist Ruins, Bosten Lake, Turpan karez, Flaming Mountains, Bezeklik, Tuyugou, Hami, Dunhuang, Mogao Caves, and the G215 high-desert run. China did not do small. Our tires noticed.

China blog drop: two foreign vehicles from Sary-Tash to Irkeshtam, Wuqia paperwork purgatory, temporary plates, one dramatic VIN plate, then Kashgar Old Town with tea houses, nang, music, camels, Id Kah Mosque square, and Silk Road night magic. Overlanding. With forms. Many forms. China did not do small. Two trucks. One border. Zero shortcuts. Forms with scenery.
