Select 1952 from the menu and see the Meola Glacier in the Himalayas.<p>Then look at this 2009 photo looking directly up the same valley rather than from the side. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.indiamike.com&#x2F;india-images&#x2F;pictures&#x2F;meola-glacier-snout-seen-pcbc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.indiamike.com&#x2F;india-images&#x2F;pictures&#x2F;meola-glacie...</a><p>The change is happening at a pace that we don&#x27;t see, without the overview of historical photos.<p>A very bad omen for India&#x27;s water supply I think.

This brings me back to the 80s when my sister and I spent hours in our grandparents’ basement flipping though their hundreds of National Geographic magazines.

Nice stuff, very valuable collection. I think one of the pics labelled as Grenada perhaps relates to inland waters instead, because the houses seem unprotected from the water.

Putting these photo captions into dall-e has some shocking results.
