Himalayan glaciers are large masses of ice located in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. These glaciers are crucial for the region, as they feed into major rivers like the Ganges, Indus, and Brahmaputra, providing water to millions of people in South Asia. The glaciers are formed from accumulated snowfall over many years, compacting into ice. However, they are currently facing threats from climate change, leading to accelerated melting. This not only affects water supply but also contributes to rising sea levels, impacting ecosystems and communities far beyond the mountains.
