Itz all gone

Great photos but one my kid's friends works for a climbing/trekking outfit that has been getting around the Grasberg mine gestapo and getting people up Puncak Jaya or Carstenz Pyramid for money, so they can add it to their collection of high peaks.

He had some shots showing that almost all the glaciers have vanished although he said it often snows, but then rains, and it is no longer cold enough to keep a glacier a glacier.
