In one corner of the world, there is more ice today than there was 10 years ago. New satellite data shows that the glaciers in the Karakoram have grown slightly over the last decade, bucking the global trend. We don’t know why it has happened — but it’s important to keep it in perspective.
The scientists who research our planet’s poles have a tough, incredible job. Drilling thousands of metres into the icy surface to retrieve core samples reveals a lot about our planet. It also provides a refreshing, pre-historic drink.
