Dosjan, the owner and founder of Kazakh Tour LLC, reflects on the striking changes to the Potanin Glacier over the past 24 years.
“In the early 2000s, this glacier was a fresh, white expanse of ice, with no rocks in sight. Today, I can see firsthand how quickly it’s melting and shrinking.
Research shows that the lower end of the glacier is melting by about 3 to 5 meters each year. That’s 72 meters in 24 years—the height of a 24-story building. And when you consider how wide the glacier is, the impact is even more alarming.”
Let’s cherish and protect these natural wonders before it’s too late.
