Description
The effects of a warming planet have been particularly visible in Central Asia, which has seen a wave of extreme weather disasters. Glaciologist Gulbara Omorova hiked six hours up a mountain of the Tian Shan range in Kyrgyzstan to record the melting process of a glacier. The melting of thousands of these glaciers has been a major threat to people in the landlocked region, which already suffers from a water shortage. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
