Resisting Global Warming, these glacier pockets are increasing!

We all know.. that the Earth’s glaciers are melting at an alarming rate as climate change inexorably marches on! But, it is indeed news to know that there are some frozen features of Earth that are resisting glacial melt, defying the trend of glaciers losing mass across the globe.

The pockets of glaciers in the Karakoram Range of the Himalayas are a few stubborn ones that are being mentioned here. In order to understand the curious case of Himalayan glaciers resisting global warming, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal have taken a significant leap and attributed this phenomenon known as the ‘Karakoram Anomaly’ to the recent revival of western disturbances (WDs).
