"Satellite images reveal that the elevation at which #snow accumulates on the #Himalayan mountains is rising at abnormal rates.
Furthermore, it's suspected that much of the snow's disappearance is due to sublimation, not melting. This means more snow evaporates into the air, instead of turning to #water and running down the mountains. As Earth Observatory described, the snow is almost "vanishing into thin air.""
