Himalayas — Melting Mountains Glaciers in the Himalayas provide the water source for one-sixth of humanity. Now that water source is threatened by climate change, as the temperature rises, these reservoirs of ice disappear. Dubbed the 'Third Pole', for having the largest concentration of glaciers outside the polar caps, the Himalayas boast 11 peaks over 26,246 feet and around 100 over 22,966 feet. Scientists predict that 80 percent of these glaciers will disappear within 30 years if current warming rates are maintained.
