Ice Stupahs of Ladakh

Communities in the arid high-mountain region of Ladakh rely on glacial water to feed streams and water crops during the spring and summer months. Global warming is dramatically re-shaping the future of these areas. Alizé meets Sonam Wangchuk, a Ladakhi teacher and engineer who has devised an extraordinary method to capture and store excess glacial runoff into magnificent ice pyramids.
