The artificial glacier growing in the desert
In the far north of India, a cold mountain desert is the stunning backdrop to an unprecedented icy structure.
This is a land of extremes, where rainfall is scarce and temperatures range wildly from torrid to far below freezing.
The locals say
it's the only place in the world where a man, sitting in the sun with
his feet in the shade, can suffer sunstroke and frostbite at the same
time.
It's the Ladakh region - meaning "land of high passes" - sandwiched between two of the world's tallest mountain ranges, the Himalayas and the Kunlun.
