THAT'S HOW A GLACIER DIES, SEEN FROM SPACE

On the left side of the photo,  captured by a NASA satellite, you can see how the Okjökull glacier was in 1986, when it had already begun to melt

On the right, the image of the same area captured on August 1, 2019. There is only hielo️ ice left in the crater of the volcano

The glacier was declared dead in 2014

 A century ago it measured 38 square kilometers and was up to 50 meters thick. In 2019 there is less than a square kilometer, in the crater of the volcano, with a thickness of just 14 meters

ON THE TOP OF THE BEAUTIFUL HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS, UNFURLED A 100-METER FLAG

A few days ago, on the top of the Ama Dablam (6,813 meters), a huge flag was deployed.

The flag had a length of 100 and a width of 30 meters, the weight  was about 150 kilograms.
In order to bring such a load to the top of the mountain, the flag was divided into 6 parts of 25 kg and was assembled together on the mountain.

At the same time,  famous Nirmal Purja  noted that he and his team “carry out on Ama Dablam one of the most risky and difficult missions in his life”; Nirmal did not specify the essence of this mission, saying that he would soon publish details; however, given that he and the team climbed the summit of Ama Dablam just on the day the flag of Kuwait was deployed, it is likely that these events are interconnected ...

This event was reported by the Nepali Times, signing the photo as: "The Italian expedition deployed the huge flag of their country on top. It was visible from Kumjung", but As you can see, the colors are similar, but the flag  is clearly not the Italian one.
It is worth saying that such actions are, in essence, a new form of "mountain pollution"
